A Standout Piece in Every Way This eye-catching necklace features multiple strands of finely woven glass bugle beads—those long, slender beads that offer a sleek and modern twist on traditional beaded jewellery. Designed to sit at princess length (just below the collarbone), the necklace adds subtle volume and luminous movement to any outfit.
Often overlooked in favour of gemstones, glass beads have a rich history in fine jewellery. Their smooth, light-catching surfaces and vibrant tones have been valued since Antiquity. Durable, lightweight, and elegant, they bring both heritage and contemporary appeal.
Each necklace is handcrafted by the women of AB Beadwork, a collective founded in 1985 in the rural KwaZulu-Natal region of South Africa. These artisans draw from Zulu traditions while working in modern forms, creating jewellery that is both ethical and beautiful.
