Stringing Project: Eco-Friendly Multi-Strand
Necklace
Glass has been a
staple for making beads for centuries. The beauty of glass is
that is can be recycled, reused and reformed into new beads.
This double strand necklace is made from recycled African glass
in the colors of the season. We have paired this earthy glass
with sun kissed copper beads, chain and a toggle to create this
seasonal piece.
