nice necklace and combination. are the beads bronze from north nigeria ?
Actually! The big beads are wood painted with copper in suspension and then highlighted with a patina solution. The blue beads are made from recycled glass and come from west Africa, probably Nigeria. The brass rings are repurposed from a not too pretty necklace I bought at the local thrift store. The round metal beads are African brass that I bought from a vendor at a local bead and gem show.
I'm so glad that you like it and shared your comments!
