Naga Green & Red Beaded Collar Necklace

A bold collar necklace formed from multiple rows of green beads and a rhythmic edge of red beads and brass-tone accents. The broad curved construction sits close to the neckline and reads as a single field of color rather than a conventional strand necklace.

Made by women of Nagaland.

Materials: Glass-like beads, brass-tone metal and resin-like elements; exact composition unverified.

Story & design context: Museum collections preserve Naga necklaces made from combinations of glass beads, brass, fiber, resin, shell, wood and stone, showing how materially diverse these ornament traditions can be. The beauty here comes from accumulation: row after row of similar beads creates something closer to a woven collar than a simple string of beads. 

Care: Keep dry and store flat or supported to protect the bead rows.
