A bold and beautifully unusual necklace crafted from hand-formed papier-mâché beads in gold and black. Each bead is unique, showcasing layers of painted texture and a glossy lacquered finish.

Its earthy glamour makes it perfect for statement styling: think linen dresses, layered neutrals, or vintage eveningwear. Lightweight yet impactful.
