Terra Nômade | Mixed-Media Wood & African-Inspired Beaded Tassel Necklace
An expressive exploration of texture, movement, and the beauty of materials gathered across cultures. Terra Nômade brings together sculptural wooden beads, handcrafted clay elements, black onyx, Czech glass, and intricate beadwork in a bold, one-of-a-kind composition.
Oversized 54 mm elongated wooden beads in natural cream and deep brown create an architectural rhythm throughout the necklace. Smaller wooden rondelles, warm brass spacers, and Czech glass accents introduce layers of contrast, while black onyx adds depth to the earthy palette.
At its center, a dramatic handcrafted tassel celebrates the artistry of detailed beadwork. Numerous individually composed strands combine seed beads in shades of amber, bronze, black, and clear glass with handmade clay beads and metallic accents in gold, silver, and copper tones.
A distinctive patterned bead, inspired by West African bead traditions, anchors the tassel, connecting its intricate strands to the necklace above. The composition brings together varied textures and finishes, allowing each element to contribute to the overall narrative.
Measuring approximately 32 inches, Terra Nômade is finished with a hammered brass toggle clasp. The result is a sculptural statement that balances organic materials, cultural influences, and contemporary design.
