formal wraps

Indian artisans Rajnandinee and Srabonti hail from Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, where, they say, they, "...were brought up in Bengal tradition...We love Indian arts and crafts." Here they display that love as well as a concern for the environment when they present a three-strand necklace featuring recycled fabric. Consisting of plastic beads that are wrapped in polyester material and then tied off one by one to form the strands, the necklace has an adjustable length by way of a sliding red bead. With its regal shades of maroon and royal blue, this necklace is a great accent for a daytime or office ensemble.

Mirian Zet carefully arranges tiny orbs of glass into multiple linked strands to form this red, yellow, orange and black pattern on white. She uses fine beads imported from the Czech Republic to carefully craft this long, luscious necklace. It wraps around the neck as desired.
