Cobalt & Rust Geometric Beadwork Bib Necklace

A substantial geometric bib necklace in deep cobalt, rust red, turquoise-colored accents, yellow and white. Multiple bead rows are divided by pale bar spacers, creating a highly structured silhouette that feels almost architectural.

Inspired from traditions of Nagaland.

Materials: Mixed beads, spacer elements, cord/textile and metal accents; exact composition unverified.

Story & design context: The design works like a piece of woven geometry: repeated bead rows become blocks of color, while the pale bars interrupt the pattern and create visual rhythm. Small shifts in bead size and placement keep the surface from feeling machine-perfect. Beadwork has often been used across cultures to turn tiny portable materials into large wearable surfaces; here that idea becomes almost armor-like. No specific tribe, folklore or ceremonial meaning is claimed.

Care: Keep dry and store flat to protect the beadwork and structural spacers.
