The beaded necklace collection is comprised of a variety of techniques and styles using seed/rocaille beads. The inspiration for the pieces comes from using a different medium (material) to produce jewellery pieces thats practically and aesthetically pleasing. I find the techniques, that have been about for years, fascinating.
