Small brass beads catch light in a broken line along a black cotton strand, worn doubled so a shorter loop rides at the collarbone and a longer drape falls below it.

  • Material: Plated brass and copper, cotton thread
  • Color: Black and gold-toned
  • Length: 46 in
  • Sold as: Single strand
  • Origin: India

The rhythm reads as texture from a distance and as individual beads up close. Wear it long as one loop, doubled as a layered pair, or wrapped three times as a fine choker — with a soft black cotton tassel finishing the drop wherever it lands.
Details
  • 46 in strand for multiple wrap styles
  • Alternating brass beads and cotton-thread knots
  • Hand-tied cotton tassel drop
  • Available in two colorways

Each necklace is hand-strung and hand-knotted, so bead spacing, color, and tassel shape vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Story

The pairing of small gold-toned beads with black is a familiar combination in Indian beadwork — most recognizably the mangalsutra, the black-bead necklace tied at marriage. This piece borrows that color language for everyday wear rather than reproducing the ritual necklace itself.

The cotton tassel is its own small convention. Wound and trimmed thread finishes appear across Indian textile and jewelry work — from the ends of saris to the tips of juttis — as a mark of hand-finishing rather than a machine-cut edge.

Long single strands built for wrapping are widespread in handmade beadwork. One length serves as a short choker, a layered pair, or a single long drape depending on how it is worn.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Hand-knotted brass beadwork

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth and store flat or hanging, away from moisture, perfume, and direct sunlight.

Questions

How long is the necklace and how do I wear it?

It measures 46 in as a single strand. Wear it long as one loop, doubled for a layered pair, or wrapped three times for a shorter choker.

What is it made of?

Small plated brass and copper beads strung and knotted on cotton thread, with a hand-tied cotton tassel.

Will the color and finish match the photo exactly?

Very closely, but expect slight natural variation in bead tone, spacing, and tassel shape since each necklace is hand-strung and hand-knotted.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The beads are plated metal, so if you are sensitive to base metals, consider layering the strand over a shirt or fabric rather than wearing it directly on bare skin for extended periods.

Who makes this necklace?

It is handmade in India by women artisans, who string, knot, and tassel each piece by hand.
