The shorter strand carries two flat oval stones set side by side — a deep emerald green paired with a soft sky blue — while a longer chain drifts below, flecked with tiny mint-green beads.

  • Material: Gold-plated brass, glass beads
  • Color: Blue and green, or pink and green
  • Length: 22 in
  • Origin: India
  • Extender: 2 in

The upper layer sits close to the collarbone; the lower drops well below, so both read at once against an open or scooped neckline. Delicate up close, graphic from a distance — the layering is already built in.
Details
  • Two-layer cascading design
  • Mixed bead shapes and sizes
  • Faceted oval glass beads
  • Bezel-set larger stones
  • Adjustable 2 in extender

Because each piece is hand-strung, bead placement, color and exact proportions vary slightly from one necklace to the next.

The Story

Two-layer beaded necklaces like this one are hand-strung — a finer chain flecked with small beads paired with a bolder strand carrying a few larger faceted stones, so the piece reads delicate up close and graphic from across a room.

Mixing bead sizes along a single chain lets a broad palette of glass sit inside one composition. Gold-plated brass holds fine detail and plates evenly, which is why it anchors so much of India's costume jewelry trade.

Each necklace is assembled by hand in small workshops. The larger faceted stones are set into bezel mounts and wire-wrapped in place; smaller beads are strung and knotted along the finer chain. Small shifts in bead placement are inherent to the process, not a defect.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-strung

Store flat, away from moisture and perfume. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after wearing to preserve the gold plating.

Questions

How long is the necklace?

Approximately 22 in, with a 2 in extender so it can be worn slightly shorter or longer.

Are the colored stones real gemstones?

No, the colored elements are faceted glass, cut and finished to catch light the way a gemstone would.

Will the gold plating wear off?

With normal wear and dry storage the plating holds up well. Like any plated piece, it lasts longest kept away from perfume and lotion.

Who makes this necklace?

It is hand-strung and assembled by women artisans in India, which is why small variations appear between pieces.
