Unique Storyteller strand - "Yellow Leaf Old Maple" - all-different artisan beads on a long necklace

A Storyteller necklace is completely unique. Each bead is different. It carries its own story and is there for you to craft a narrative of your own. These are works of art in themselves, made by modern artisans of flamework and clay as well as anonymous beadmakers of treasures that are antique or possibly ancient.

This strand is so magical in its ability to change tones and hues - you'll notice it was photographed on many backgrounds in several different lighting settings, and it is a chameleon. It is full of marvelous texture and surface. It will surely amuse you for many years and will start many conversations. Storytellers are similar to malas in their ability to draw you into to contemplation of their beautiful shapes and reveries about their travels. The makers' hands are clearly present. If you are interested, I have a list of the provenance of each bead.

This is a very sturdy piece with 18 ga brass wire links and large darkened natural brass jump rings.
The beads are mostly on the larger side, and they dance beautifully on the weighted strand. Each bead is capped with a unique set of caps that augment its beauty and protect it.

42" No clasp.
If you are planning to wear this doubled, a clasp can be added to suit you.
Links can be added or subtracted to make this piece perfect for you and the way you will use it.
(For instance, some folks like to have smaller beads at the back of the neck for ease of wearing.)
