Forty narrow strands of small scarlet beads fall together as one full, rope-like drop. A triangle of ivory crochet gathers them at each shoulder, meeting a single dark button at the nape.

  • Material: Red glass seed beads, cotton crochet
  • Color: Red, ivory
  • Length: 32 in
  • Closure: Button and loop
  • Origin: Nepal
  • Strands: 40

The volume sits low without the weight of a solid piece — small beads keep the drape soft and constantly moving. Cream crochet meets the red at the shoulders like a quiet frame, so the color reads even more saturated against it.
Details
  • 40 individually strung bead strands
  • Hand-crocheted cotton shoulder tabs
  • Button-and-loop closure
  • Layered volume
  • Lightweight drape

Each strand is strung and knotted by hand, so small differences in strand length, bead spacing and drape are normal from piece to piece.

The Story

Forty strands of small red glass beads, strung one at a time and gathered at each shoulder into a hand-crocheted cotton tab. The strand count is the design — repetition and volume turn ordinary seed beads into something with real presence.

The style comes from Tibetan communities in Nepal, where fine seed beads are layered into thick, rope-like collars rather than worn as single delicate strands. Red glass carries forward the coral tones long used in Himalayan beadwork, in a form that doesn't require rare natural coral.

The cream crochet tabs are practical as much as decorative. They gather dozens of loose strands into a manageable width and give the button something soft to catch, instead of forcing so many strands against a metal clasp.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Tibetan multi-strand beadwork

Lay flat or hang between wears so the strands don't tangle. Wipe the beads with a soft, dry cloth and keep them away from water, perfume, and lotion.

Questions

How long is the necklace?

It measures 32 in, worn long over the chest rather than close to the neck.

How does it close?

A button and loop at the back secure all forty strands, which gather into hand-crocheted cotton tabs at each shoulder.

Is it heavy to wear?

Small glass beads keep the volume light, so the piece drapes without the weight of solid metal or stone.

What are the beads made of?

Small red glass seed beads, hand-strung one strand at a time.
