Please read shipping notes before ordering this piece of handmade jewelry.

This asymmetrical, freeform peyote necklace is an explosion of bright orange and luscious lime. It incorporates antique orange chiffon seed beads, Japanese delicas, peridot chips, citrine rondelles, fresh water coin pearls, faceted fire polished Czech glass beads in several sizes and colors.

The 20" to 24", necklace is closed with a sterling silver, heart shaped clasp and has an extender chain. The necklace strap itself is a mix of all the beads used in the freeform peyote focal pendant except the coin pearls. The pendant is embellished with fringes created from a mix of seed beads, Czech glass beads and fresh water coin pearls.

In addition to personal checks and US Postal Money orders, I accept PayPal. Shipments paid for by check are held until the check clears.

I do not pad my shipping charges but do pass actual costs on to the buyer. ArtFire requires that I pick a number for shipping so I picked the least expensive, slow-boat-to-China rate offered by the United States Postal Service. Secondary shipping charges depend on what else you are purchasing. If you are purchasing more than one item at a time from my studio, please e-mail for shipping charges. If you wish to choose a shipping method other than the USPS to a US address, the cost is more. That said, U.S. or Canadian purchasers may choose the U.S. Postal System, UPS or Fed Ex. but please request a shipping quote before making a purchase.

International purchasers may only use U.S. Global Priority Mail. Costs for Global Priority shipments vary by destination and package weight. Please contact me for a shipping quote before making a purchase. I combine shipping costs automatically.

Insurance is optional but I accept no responsibility for damage to or loss of uninsured shipments.

The inspiration for this piece is the antique, orange chiffon Czech seed beads and the way they looked with the peridots. They were what dictated the form and arrangement of the beads in this piece.
