Via Mars

This piece contains some special beads I purchased locally in Texas. I had been eyeing them for a long time not sure what I could do with them. I went into the shop a few weeks ago and finally decided I had to turn them into something because they felt so special to me. These beads, Susannah Beads are the living legacy of a Chicago based ceramic artist who made these beads throughout her life, up until she was diagnosed with Alzheimers and could no longer do it. Each bead is handmade stoneware or porcelain. Im grateful I discovered these and was able to create a few special pieces with them.

18k gold plated hardware and findings, matte gold triangle pendant, wooden oval evil eye beads, matte gold feather style charms, brown beads from Kurdistan, matte gold plated teardrop and ball charms. 16 inch chain.

Handcrafted with love in Texas during the Winter(Zistan) of 2021.
