Hand crafted necklace made of Czech glass seed beads. Hand crafted in
the Aboriginal dot style. The seed beads are 2mm and are brown and ivory tone.
Length: 18"
Materials:
- Czech glass seed beads
- Gold plated lobster clasp
Necklace:
I designed this necklace to work well with natural earth colors. The
pattern of the beads causes the aboriginal dot effect.
Care and
cleaning:
Hand wash necklace using household dish soap and water. Lay flat to dry overnight.
I do not recommend chemical cleaning because it may discolor the beads. Use a
soft cotton cloth to enhance the sparkle.
About
Bead Crochet:
Seed bead crochet is labor intensive, dating back to the early 1820’s. Each
tiny bead is touched 3 times to build the spiral rope.
First
touch: All beads are strung onto the cord in a predetermined pattern.
Second
touch: Crochet the first row of beads, adding one bead with each stitch and
determines the diameter of the rope.
Third
touch: The subsequent rows are crocheted into each stitch of the previous row
adding one new bead while flipping the previous bead to the side.
Disclaimer:
This item is made in the USA, all the materials used are NOT made in the
USA (If you know of a US source for seed beads and nylon thread please message
me as I have not been able to find them). Although this jewelry did not
originate on Kauai, my heart returns to the Garden Island with fond memories.
