This beautiful Seed beaded Western rope necklace is actually a Faux Bolo as the silver concha is NOT adjustable. The necklace is 36 inches of tiny turquoise and coral coloured seed beads that have been wound around and stitched to a strong paracord core. The silver plated concha has been secured at the 14 Inch drop point with a genuine Turquoise gemstone nugget. The ends are decorated with silver plated bolo tips. I have worked a simple design into the bolo with antique silver and coral coloured seed beads. The total drop of the necklace is 20 inches from the middle of the necklace to the tips.
This is a very rugged necklace and the seed beads will not unravel or come off, even with years of use. Due to the method I use (traditional) every single row is stitched down, so even if one row were to come loose, that would be the only spot, it would not unravel the entire necklace and can be easily repaired for many more years of wear.
This has been designed for anyone of any gender to wear and has a great southwestern vibe to it, perfect for any Cowboy or Cowgirl.
I am Indigenous Canadian (Metis) and use the methods of beading taught to me by MY grandmothers. I have been beading since the early 1970's, so my designs are both unique and traditional. If you are looking for AUTHENTIC NATIVE beadwork, then you have found it here in my small shop.
Have a look around at a few more of my pieces, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the pieces I offer. Thank you for visiting, and Many Blessings!
