IN STOCK: Chromatic Dialogue Part Two - Graduated Bead Necklace in Earth Pigments

Graduated Bead Necklace - Chromattic Dialogue Part Two

Made as part of my collaboration with Amanda Bee, this graduated bead necklace is made with a mix of natural earth pigments using two yellow earths, two red earths, Prussian blue and turquoise earth.  The results of my colour mixing gave me over 80 different shades and tones in soft earthy muted colours of greens, soft red earths, blues, yellow ochres, greys and mauves.

I used a porcelain white and a translucent polymer clay to hand colour and roll each bead.  

My graduated bead necklaces feature different sized beads which range from 8mm up to 18mm in diameter.  I use recycled sterling silver to make the end jump rings and the clasp and I cut up square profile tube at the end of the beads.  I also wire wrap each end of the necklace with fine silver to provide more strength to the necklace and because I think it looks nicer than leaving the crimp beads visible.  The worn length of the necklaces is approximately 19 inches. 

I have a few of these necklaces in stock and available to immediate posting.  The necklace shown in the photos will be sent to you - this one, features more blue and green tones.
