Green Crosses
$1,825.00
This One-of-a-Kind necklace is approx. 25” long.
The large antique Ethiopian Coptic cross was where it all started. Then came the rare green hebron trade beads from Sudan, Africa. Hebron beads are made with dead sea salt and date to the mid 1800’s. They have great patinas and pitting. In between the hebrons I put hand cut jade beads from Afghanistan, I love the combination of these textures and colors.
The smaller pendants are also Ethiopian ear spoons. The metal beads in the second row are from Afghanistan and are inlayed with jade. Freshwater pearls dyed beautiful shades of green, antique Tuareg silver bicones from Mali, Africa, and sterling silver beads and findings finish off the design.
Hand crafted in the USA with imported materials.
