Blue Coral Necklace (Limited Edition of 7)

Blue Coral Necklace (Limited Edition of 7)

Cobalt blue and white meet vivid coral red: this necklace lives from the interplay of its colours and, in its graphic effect, recalls a composition of painted shapes. Round blue-and-white glass beads form the basis of the design. They are made by artisans in Ghana from recycled glass and arranged one by one into an expressive necklace.

The special accent is a tassel of coral-red vintage glass beads found in a market in Accra. Their strong colour and vintage character give the piece an individual note. A handmade clasp in recycled brass completes the design with a warm, metallic contrast.

Traditional glass craft, reclaimed materials and an original use of colour come together in a necklace of unmistakable character.

The necklace is a limited edition of seven pieces.

Materials: recycled and vintage glass, recycled brass clasp

Length: 48 cm end to end

Edition: 7 pieces

Shape, colour and finish vary slightly, so each necklace is unique.

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

A dense, colorful display of coiled beaded bracelets or necklaces made of small round beads, arranged in overlapping bundles of blue, purple, yellow, green, pink, brown, black, and white.

Our partner

Out of fascination for the west African beading tradition, we started working with two artisan groups in Accra and Kumasi during a field trip in 2024. One is based in the outskirts of Ghana's capital and recycles glass bottles to a myriad of colourful shapes of beads.

Modernity & Heritage

All across Ghana, textile and beading vintage pieces can be discovered, showing the extraordinary craftsmanship of West African artisans, some reminiscent of the early trade connections to Europe, such as beads from Venetian or Bohemian glassmakers, wax fabric from Indonesia over the Netherlands to be reinvented West Africa. These red vintage beads have become part of our collection, as a limited series.

Lost Wax casting

In the former capital of the Ashanti kingdom, known for its refined and unique goldsmiths, we have collaborated with two brass artisans who still master the craft of lost wax casting: every piece is formed in wax and later casted with recycled brass. The mould only works once, which is why every single piece is one-of-a kind.

Unique skills

The incredible skills of this artisans collective, operating from the brass village at the outskirts of Kumasi is humbling. Every single element was formed by hand, then covered with clay, dried, recovered and then burnt. The void gets filled with liquid brass which then cools down and gets cracked open. The mould breaks and the final piece appears to get polished to be mounted on your necklace.
