“In Every Bead, Embracing the Beauty of Unity,” An exquisite eclectic collection of carved beads (Bone, Agathe, Jade, and Coral) from around the world, more than half vintage and of varying color- demonstrating that despite differences in age and provenance, diversity is beautiful. I genuinely ADORE this necklace and hesitate to put it up for sale. It is also imbued with symbolism and optimism: The two focal points are the butterfly, a symbol of hope, and the green carved jade, which brings good luck, promotes emotional well-being and protects against negative energies.
Native Americans have considered butterflies symbols of transformation, hope, and rebirth. In Chinese culture, the symbolism of butterflies evokes the qualities of freedom, earthly beauty, love, and the human soul.
The Story of the Beauty and Diversity Collection:
Diversity in all its forms — of thought, gender, faith, culture, sexuality, and physical characteristics — is increasingly under attack, in a world where polarization grows and the very principles of equity and inclusion are being erased.
This collection insists on a simple truth: where we are born, and the bodies and identities we are given, is mere chance.
The beauty of diversity is revealed through skin tones, shapes, and colors — coming together like a symbolic rainbow, a living tapestry of difference woven into harmony.
Each piece is a declaration that beauty flourishes in diversity, carrying the unique stories of humanity across cultures and generations.
The Inclusion Collection underscores that diversity is not simply to be acknowledged or tolerated; it must be cherished, fiercely protected, and celebrated as the foundation of our shared humanity.
We use recycled and vintage materials for their artistic merits and lower environmental impact whenever possible. We also love supporting artisans in the developing world, keeping traditions and handicrafts alive and transferred from generation to generation, and helping to support their families.
Note: We can adjust the weight and the length and make matching earrings for $25
