Graduated Bead Necklace in Woad Blue, Indigo, Green Earth, Potters Pink and Yellow Ochre

These graduated bead necklaces are big and bold and fun to wear.  Made from handmade polymer clay beads in various sizes from 18mm to 12mm diameter beads, the beads are hand rolled so they aren't always completely round but that's part of their charm!

The necklace is approximately 19 inches long and fastens with a handmade hammered sterling silver clasp which sparkles slightly when the light catches it.

This necklace is a one of a kind colourway and it's available to post straight away.

This necklace is in a mix of plant and earth pigments - plant pigments of woad and indigo blues, the yellows are from a mix of woad yellow from the plant's flowers and yellow ochre with a hint of cadmium yellow, the pinks are from Potter's Pink and the greens are from a mix of green earth with indigo.

Note about Woad and Indigo Pigments: woad and indigo plant pigments are fugative which means that they are not light fast and will gradually fade over time.  I have added a little Prussian Blue pigment to some of the darker beads to prevent any fading but I am assuming that the lighter blues will gradually start to fade over time - a bit like denim does.  Please avoid leaving the necklace in direct sunlight as this will accelerate any possible colour fading. 

I've used both translucent and porcelain white polymer clay with the pigments.
