What the heck is kumihimo? Its a Japanese form of braiding!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumihimo



This round 1/8 inch braid is of polyester flutter yarn~

Braid is approximately 30 inches long~with the 20 mm labradorite flower,flashes blue brilliantly, 6mm faceted rondelle flashes blue and green, and the leaves on the the sterling silver flash green with some golds!

Sterling wire and beads were used to create the approximately 5 inch drop!

Closes with a handcrafted swan clasp of sterling silver 3/4 inch.Fringe of extra threads extends past clasp aprroximately 9 inches.

One of a kind.

I rediscovered my love of Kumihimo after my dear Sister in Law cannot wear metals. She loves jewelry~so I make her many kumis ..
