Multicolor Geometric Beadwork Bib Necklace

An oversized bib necklace built from dense rows of green, orange, blue, red, black and white beadwork. Rigid pale spacers divide the color fields into architectural sections, while small brass-tone drops punctuate the outer edge.

Inspired from traditions of Nagaland.

Materials: Mixed beads, spacer bone plates, cord/textile and metal accents; 

Story & design context: This is beadwork behaving like textile design. Hundreds of tiny repeated units function almost like pixels, building large blocks of color and pattern across a flexible surface. The pale bone bars act like structural beams, keeping each field visually separate and giving the necklace its dramatic geometry. It is included in Tribal Roots for its material language and hand-built appearance.

Care: Store flat and keep dry. Avoid bending the structured bead panels sharply.
