This 14 .5 inch love bead choker is made of 6mm hessonite garnet beads, accented with bronzy glass seed beads, and a single gorgeous turquoise teardrop, finished with a gold filled clasp. I love that the turquoise, a stone associated with the throat chakra and speaking your truth, sits right there at the throat chakra. The wisdom of turquoise, surrounded by the creativity of hessonite.
*** Add a 3 inch gold filled extender for more versatility

A little about this collection:
Prayer beads meet love beads.
Born of play and a desire to make beauty from random odds and ends, what has emerged feels so soulful, both deeply personal and universal.
Made with beads that have made their way to me in all sorts of manner. From all corners of the globe. Trinkets from my travels. Gifts from friends. Secondhand treasure. Bits and bobs form broken pieces so well worn and well loved, they fell apart.
Inspired by prayer beads. Love beads of the sixties. A bohemian seventies aesthetic. Chokers from the nineties. A favorite necklace of my mom's.
A little connection to spirit.
A little love revolution.
Each piece is handcrafted with love to remind you of the magic within you + all around you.
