An earthy, long tribal style, boho necklace in earthtones and orange, which lives up to the name of my studio...eclectic.

Tribal #1 is a very long, 58 inch strand, of hemp twine and a taupe sand colored ribbon, on which is strung wood and glass beads. Also included are unique enameled bells, gold colored chain, mesh ribbon encasing metallic embroidery floss, and a good sized oxidized brass bell at center front.

This OOAK necklace can be worn as a single long strand, or can be looped over the head twice for a more standard length look. The ribbon is in the center front portion, and is knotted loosely between each bead.

The upper portion consists of 3 strands of hemp strung through large-holed beads, and in some places, each strand has a small bead which are clumped together for a more 3-D effect.

The 3 strands are knotted here and there as part of the composition.

It has a very Bohemian look about it, and would go with anything from jeans, to a gauze or linen dress.

I love the earthiness of tribal designs and have been collecting wood and bone beads for a long while. Seeing them all together in a bit of a jumble, I decided to string them into a very complex and unique necklace, so that they would look much the way I saw them in my supply boxes.
