150,00 $ · En stock
An African bead necklace built around a vintage or antique pendant from Turkmenistan, with its elegant teardrop shape and detailed patterns, evoking the serene beauty of a hidden desert oasis. Around it are brass Mali squashed bicone beads, handmade from recycled metal, and recycled glass beads from Ghana, mostly unpolished. Designed and handmade by me in Montréal. Recycled glass from Accra, recycled brass from Mali The bicones were found by a trusted trader in Koforidua, Ghana. They are increasingly rare because of the ongoing troubles in Mali, and their varying shapes and sizes add warmth and history. I bought the recycled glass beads directly from a small factory in Accra, Ghana, where they are still made by labour-intensive methods, from crushing the glass to baking the beads in ovens. Their earthy, unpolished texture is part of the design. It sits in my Vintage & Antique collection, among necklaces made new from old materials.
