White And Black And Silver Beaded Necklace And Earrings

This beaded boho style necklace was created by The Singing Beader. The short length necklace has a combination of smooth, shiny, round white glass beads, sparkling black faceted rondelle shaped Czech crystals and glowing silver-plated heishe rondelle spacers. A larger, smooth black round acrylic focal bead centers the necklace. The necklace has a sterling silver extension chain and a small sterling silver trigger style clasp. Length of necklace and the size of beads and crystals are shown below.

You have a choice to chose the necklace only or you can also buy the matching earrings.

The earrings consist of the white beads, black crystal Rondells, and the silver-plated heishe rondelle spacers. The earrings have sterling silver earring pins and sterling silver lever back ear wires. See photo 10.

I love the combination of black and white. Adding a touch of silver makes the necklace really stand out! Wear it for both casual and dress-up occasions.

African Batik Boho Necklace, Black White Tribal Handmade Jewelry Women

The "Nzuri Sana" handmade necklace features African batik bone flag beads and black onyx - unique boho jewelry for women.

Juxtaposing the rustic look of fair trade African black and white batik bone beads with the smooth elegance of black onyx gemstones, the tribal inspired NZURI SANA handmade necklace is a truly stunning piece of boho jewelry.  Eye catching wavy patterned black and white batik bone beads were hand cut in a slightly curved flag shape.  Individually decorated on both sides in Ghana (please see below for more information about that), the batik flags are very similar in design and color but not exactly the same.  Between each batik bead is a sleek and shiny black onyx round bead, separated from the black and white flags by pewter disc spacers and small sterling silver beads. Black onyx beads finish the back of the necklace, interspersed with the lead free pewter and sterling beads.  Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the one of a kind NZURI SANA necklace is perfect for the woman who loves unique tribal jewelry and one who loves to hear the many positive comments on the jewelry she wears! “Nzuri sana” is Swahili for “very beautiful.”

Individually handmade black and white batik bone beads add a boho, tribal feel to the necklace design.

*** How batik bone beads are made:

The batik bone flag beads used in NZURI SANA are so lovely - even more so when you understand the process of making them. Most bone beads are made in Ghana and Kenya, and, to a lesser degree, in Cameroon. "Batik" is traditionally a method of dyeing fabric where a clear wax design is applied to the material. When the material is then dyed, the wax repels most of the dye. This same technique is applied to bleached cow or buffalo bone, usually using hot beeswax because if its extreme resistance to dye. After a pattern is painted on with the hot beeswax, the bone is then dipped in the dye. Most dyes used are made from natural sources: leaves, tree bark and/or sap. The bone beads are left in the dye bath a varying length of time, depending on how dark the bones need to be dyed. Once the desired color is achieved, the bead is dried, the wax is scraped off and the bead is carefully polished. Each bead is done this way, a very laborious process from beginning to end! But this process makes each and every bead unique.

Black White Necklace, Classy Chunky Gemstone Jewelry Quartzite Jade

The "Midnight Magic" gemstone necklace features sparkling white quartzite rounded diamonds and  glossy black jade rounds - elegant jewelry for the woman who loves handmade.

The MIDNIGHT MAGIC necklace is a piece of boldly beautiful gemstone jewelry for the woman who is not afraid to make an elegant statement! This chunky, one of a kind necklace features glittering white quartzite (sometimes called snow quartz) in a unique rounded diamond shape with a natural matte finish. Because of the distinctive crystalline structure of the quartzite, each gemstone exudes subtle, eye catching sparkle as the light plays across the surface. As the necklace is worn, the quartzite will roll, adding kinetic energy to the design. The quartzite is on the chunkier side but is not overpowering or extremely heavy. Sterling silver daisy spacers frame each quartzite diamond.

Such an elegant white quartzite and black jade handmade gemstone necklace!

Since black and white is such a classic combination, super shiny black jade rounds were used to take that combination to a whole new level. Black jade gets its lustrous color from high amounts of iron and/or graphite. Because it is very dense and tough, it has been valued for centuries to make weapons and tools. Today, black jade is very popular in trendy jewelry. Small sterling silver beads separate each gemstone from the other. From dress up (little black dress?) to casual clothes (white t-shirt and black jeans, perhaps?), the chunky necklace will definitely show your extreme good taste each time it is worn. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, MIDNIGHT MAGIC will be a necklace you will treasure for many years to come.
