The Determinedly Green necklace is a bold and vibrant celebration of sustainability and craftsmanship, part of the esteemed Earth Collection. This striking piece features a variety of bright green recycled glass beads, sourced directly from Ghana, where they have been meticulously handcrafted by Tet, a contemporary bead maker based in Accra. Tet’s expertise shines through in each bead, as he has perfected a technique that stands out in the world of recycled glass jewelry. Unlike the typically rough and unrefined finish of traditional recycled beads, Tet’s creations are polished to a smooth, almost luminous finish, making them truly unique. Each bead is carefully polished by hand, showcasing not just the artist’s dedication but also the exceptional craftsmanship that goes into each piece.
The necklace’s focal point is a captivating multi-colored Tuareg pendant, a handmade treasure that embodies the rich cultural heritage of the Tuareg people. The pendant’s unique imperfections only add to its beauty, making each piece one-of-a-kind. The swirling patterns and deep colors of the pendant evoke the mystique of the Sahara, while its handcrafted nature speaks to the enduring traditions of Tuareg artisanship.
Accentuating the green glass beads are bicone recycled brass beads from Mali, adding a warm metallic contrast that enhances the necklace’s overall aesthetic. These brass beads, with their rich golden tones, are not only beautiful but also carry their own story of sustainability, having been crafted from recycled materials by skilled artisans in Mali.
The Determinedly Green necklace is more than just a piece of jewelry; it’s a statement of commitment to protecting our planet while honoring the artistry of diverse cultures. Each element of this necklace reflects a dedication to sustainability, from the recycled materials used to the meticulous craftsmanship that brings them to life. Wearing this necklace is a way to celebrate both the earth and the hands that work tirelessly to preserve its beauty through art.
