Imagine Peace Leather Statement Necklace
- Tribal Boho Style with Colorful Greek Beads -

https://www.etsy.com/prettygonzo/listing/691270513/imagine-necklace-peace-statement?ref=shop_home_active_22&frs=1

This inspirational "Imagine" statement necklace is a boho tribal-style handmade creation that brings together an artisan-made stamped word pendant, colorful Mykonos ceramic beads, green aventurine saucers, and shiny pewter spacers. The pendant, which was made in the USA, features stamped images of a purple dragonfly, a green road moving to a distant horizon, and a big yellow sun rising over that horizon. Of course, the inspirational message here recalls John Lennon's beautiful song of hope, and makes this one-of-a-kind necklace an uplifting gift for anyone who is a dreamer of unity and peace.

The Mykonos ceramic beads were made in Greece and comes in two shape varieties: tube and washer. The washers are bright purple, and the tubes are yellow, forest green, and light green. All the colors link in some way to the pendant's colors: purple to the dragonfly, yellow to the sun, forest green to the road, and light green to the pendant itself. The pewter beads include daisy spacers, beads with etched sunburst designs, and a large leaf-decorated focal above the pendant, bordered with smooth rondelles. All these beads, pewter and ceramic, are combined in a way that complements the pendant.
 

This peace-theme necklace also includes:
• Aventurine saucer beads
• Large stainless steel jump ring
• Genuine brown leather cord
• Genuine brown deerskin lace
• Pewter cord ends
• Pewter protective evil eye bead
• Stainless steel 2-inch extender chain
• Stainless steel lobster clasp

The leather cord and deerskin lace were made in the USA. The deerskin lace is used for a two-strand tassel at the end of the extender chain. The leather cord is glued into the cord ends with Loctite adhesive (it is the only spot in the necklace that I have used glue). The basic length of this inspirational boho creation is approximately 22 inches without the pendant, and 24 inches with the pendant.

Uniting the two design styles of hippie tribal retro and boho, this "Imagine" statement necklace was handmade beaded by me with care, thought, and best wishes for its destined wearer. It comes in an eco-friendly box, all set for gift giving to someone who values the dream of world unity and who cherishes John Lennon's timeless song. Perhaps that someone will be you!
