Ladakhi Cobalt & Red Bead Choker

A broad beaded choker in saturated cobalt, red and aged-brass tones. Dense rows of beads curve around a circular ornamental center, giving the piece a compact breastplate-like silhouette with unusually strong color contrast.

Inspired by traditions of Ladakh/Tibet

Materials: Mixed beads, metal accents and textile/fabric backing;

Story & design context: The palette reflects a wider Central Asian love of high-contrast ornament, where metal, colored glass and stone-like elements are often combined for maximum visual impact. The geometry is especially interesting: concentric circles pull the eye toward the center while the broad crescent-like body spreads the color across the collarbone. 

Care: Keep dry and store flat. Wipe metal accents gently with a soft dry cloth.
