Labradorite & Copper Beaded Drape Necklace with Driftwood Pendant — Handmade
Weathered driftwood, smoky labradorite and tiny black beads come together in this one-of-a-kind necklace inspired by misty shorelines, shifting water and objects shaped by time.
A strand of matte black glass beads create a long, fluid silhouette, accented with cut iridescent beads that catch the light and highlight the flash of natural labradorite. Two playful strands drape from the hand-forged copper hooks at the back of the neck, adding movement and an organic, asymmetrical feel. Wear them down the back for a sophisticated look, or around the front of the neck, falling just below the collarbone.
At the center hangs a naturally weathered driftwood pendant discovered on the shores of the Salish Sea and embellished by hand with flashes of labradorite and warm hammered copper wire. The contrast of pale, timeworn wood against dark beadwork gives the pendant an almost talisman-like quality, while each labradorite stone catches the light with its own subtle variation.
The necklace measures approximately 20" long, with an additional 8" draped strand, and is finished with handmade copper details.
