A hand-made, crocheted beaded rope necklace. A bold, geometric design made from opaque, bright red, white, black and gray round, size 6/0 glass beads. Has an ethnic look evocative of snakeskin. 16 inches long with a silver heart-shaped, lobster claw style clasp. In the crocheted beaded rope technique a pattern is designed and all the beads are strung ahead of time. Not a single bead can be out of place! The pattern emerges as the necklace is crocheted. Made by a Sacramento artist.
