Bronze Spirals and Dichroic Pendant Necklace, Nepal Sherpa Glass Handmade Jewelry


spiral and dichroic pendant necklace for women



The ANCIENT VOICES handmade pendant necklace is definitely a piece of jewelry filled with beauty and wonder! The one of a kind necklace features a bronze pendant covered in swirling spirals and a glowing dichroic glass cabochon, vintage Nepali Sherpa glass tube beads, black onyx and copper. The pendant was artisan crafted from pure bronze and is covered with spirals, an ancient, sacred symbol that represents the unfolding changes during the journey of life. Centered in the middle of the pendant is a magical looking dichroic glass cabochon that capture the light and radiates many colors: aqua, turquoise, dark navy blue, grass green, orange, pink, white and other colors depending on how the angle of the light hits the glass.

To perfectly complement the bronze pendant, turquoise blue and black glass tube beads and two sizes (5 mm and 3 mm) of round black onyx gemstones were used. The vintage tube beads were individually handmade from recycled glass by Sherpas in Nepal - just imagine the hands that made these wondrous beads! Since the beads were fire cured, they have a gorgeous, organic look. Because of the handmade nature, each vintage Sherpa bead is slightly different in size and shape, so they don’t lay in a “perfect” line, as you can see in the photos, giving a wonderfully rustic flair to the design. Between each group of Sherpa beads is a single round 5 mm black onyx gemstone capped on each end with a small copper disc spacer. The smaller black onyx beads and a copper toggle clasp set finishes the back of the unique necklace. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the ANCIENT VOICES necklace was created for the women who treasures and oves to wear one of a kind, artisan jewelry with a story.
