Crescent Wood

$1,650.00

A one-of-one necklace crafted with a vintage hand-carved wooden bead, labradorite, excavated glass beads, jade, lapis lazuli, and 18k solid gold.

The hand-carved wooden bead is vintage and reflects bead-carving practices common across West and Central Africa. The excavated glass beads include gray trade beads that are over 300 years old, originally found in Mali, an important West African trading center where beads were often buried in clay vessels alongside other valuables. This modern artifact necklace is a conversation between old and new. It can be worn doubled or long.
