This 20” long necklace in beautiful shades of pink, yellow, and brown is made from glass, seed beads and paper beads, hand-strung by the Haitians in The Apparent Project's beading program. The paper beads are coated with an acrylic, clear substance that makes them water-resistant.
This piece of jewelry was made by Adrien, who is a hard-working father who wants to make enough money to support his family and afford a wedding for Chrislene, the mother of his two children. He is trying to save money to rebuild a home for his family after it was completely destroyed in the earthquake.
