Upcycled Necklace - 6 Strands

Six strings of wooden prayer beads necklace, wrapped in silk. The silk is taken from remnants of Kantha Scarves. They contain no metal parts. The most striking colours and prints  are selected from the mountains of sari remnants in HOWS workshop. These scraps are first matched, piece-by-piece, with colourful cotton thread, and then sewn into narrow, double-layered tubes. The artisans fill these tubes with wooden prayer beads, hand-stitching each bead into place with the thread. 

One piece of sari scrap can be made into several necklaces, so positioning of print may differ very slightly from the first image. Any variations or irregularities are part of the design and inherent to the production process.

A colourful statement piece!
