Cameroon Inspired Necklace


The African Millefiore beads 
which dominate the top neck cord 
and each hanging strand 
were the gift of Myrle Borine. 
The large rich brown stoneware bead 
in the center of the waxed linen neck cord 
was made by BHClaysmith as were 
all the many ceramic beads in the strands.


  The eight necklace strands or tassels 
are complete with Salwag discs, hand cut glass discs, 
carved horn/bone beads, Czech glass elephants, 
wood bi-cones, metal beads, glass seed beads, 
African powdered glass beads and Trade beads. 
Black leather cords wrapped in copper wire finish
the sides and attach to a heavy copper chain 
which can be shortened if needed.
