Description
A richly textured vintage multi-strand necklace composed of hundreds of small disc-shaped beads in layered earth tones — warm honey, deep chestnut, umber, and muted wine red. The strands fall in long, fluid loops, creating a dense, tactile drape that moves beautifully with the body.
Each strand is finished with a smooth round wooden bead near the clasp, grounding the composition visually and physically. The repetition of form and subtle variation in color gives the piece a rhythmic, almost meditative quality — understated from afar, deeply expressive up close.
This necklace feels elemental and intentional, closer to wearable material study than ornament. It carries weight, warmth, and a sense of quiet power.
Likely mid- to late-20th century vintage, with influences from folk, modernist, or craft jewelry traditions.
Based on visual inspection, this necklace appears to be made of:
Measures approximately 24 inches end to end; when worn as a continuous loop, the hang length is about 10 inches.
Wooden disc beads (multiple natural and stained tones)
Larger round wooden beads near the clasp
Metal clasp and findings (silver-tone)
Strung on cord (likely nylon or cotton)
Finish is matte to lightly polished, emphasizing texture over shine.
