Dozens of fine red seed-bead strands sweep across the neckline, gathered at the shoulders into black-and-gold bands and drawn down to a chevron panel at center front.

  • Material: Glass seed beads, bone beads, brass and copper spacers
  • Color: Red, black, gold
  • Length: 28 in
  • Width: 2 in at widest
  • Origin: Nepal
  • Strands: 40

The saturated red carries the color; the banded sections at each shoulder give the piece structure, and the chevron panel at center pulls the eye down the way a pendant would on a single strand. Wide enough to sit as the one piece against a plain neckline.
Details
  • 40-strand construction
  • Black bone-bead bands
  • Brass spacer detailing
  • Chevron center panel
  • Collar-style drape

Each necklace is hand-strung one at a time, so bead placement, color and strand length vary slightly from piece to piece.

The Story

Multi-strand seed-bead necklaces are a fixture of Nepalese beadwork, where color and volume do the work a single stone might do elsewhere. Stringing dozens of fine strands together and gathering them into banded sections builds scale from very small components.

The black bone-bead bands aren't only decorative — they hold tension across so many strands at once and create a graphic rhythm against the red. The chevron panel at center front functions as a focal point, drawing the eye down into a V.

Each strand is threaded and knotted individually, then all forty are gathered and bound at set intervals to form the bands and the center panel. Slow, repetitive work — the kind that rewards keeping tension even across every strand.

Craft & Care
  • Technique: Nepalese multi-strand seed beadwork

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store flat to keep the strands from tangling. Keep the glass and bone beads away from moisture, perfume and lotion.

Questions

How long is this necklace?

Approximately 28 inches, sitting as a collar/bib style about 2 inches wide at its widest point.

How many strands does it have?

Forty individual strands of seed beads, gathered into banded sections at the shoulders and the center panel.

What are the beads made from?

Glass seed beads and bone beads, with brass spacer accents marking the banded sections.

Is it comfortable to wear given how many strands it has?

The strands distribute weight across the neckline rather than concentrating it in one spot. Best suited to shorter wear stretches like events and evenings out.

How do I take care of it?

Keep it away from moisture, perfume and lotion, wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear, and store flat so the strands don't tangle.
