Naga Mustard Multistrand Long Necklace

A long multistrand necklace in warm mustard-yellow beads, gathered into a sculptural knot-like lower section with a contrasting orange tassel of bead strands. The many parallel rows give the necklace volume from a distance and fascinating texture up close.

Made by women of Nagaland.

Materials: Glass-like beads and brass-tone accents; exact composition unverified.

Story & design context: Long bead strands are one of the simplest jewelry constructions, but multiplying them transforms the effect completely. Historical Naga necklaces in museum collections demonstrate the long use of glass beads alongside fiber, brass and other materials. On this piece, the gathered center interrupts the otherwise orderly parallel strands, creating a deliberate tension between repetition and asymmetry. 

Care: Store hanging when possible and keep dry. Avoid pulling individual strands.
