“A Corrugated Necklace”
This necklace draws attention coming and going. I strive to make all my designs attractive from the front, but it is only a few necklaces that can achieve that high mark from the back. This is one.
These paper beads were made by an unknown artist in Murano, Italy. I bought them on a trip there four years ago. They look like corrugated paper sliced in ribbons and crafted into architectural shapes…to my mind. What a labor of love! They are treated with a matte varnish to protect the surface. They are very sturdy.
I wanted them to be paired with special beads, both texture- and color-wise. For that honor, I found a dozen handmade glass beads from the tiny shop in Carmel, CA, called Two Sisters. The remaining spacer beads are pale wood.
The creative clasp is a resin circle in pale beige coupled with a wood toggle featuring four different woods.
Matching earrings of the stylized paper and sterling silver are 1.75” long. The necklace is 21” long.
$149 for the set.
Hi, Priscilla!
This set is so stunning. I must have it!! It is so artist. And also architectural. I will be in Boston the week if 3/18 and will come to see you. I am not sure about my schedule yet but I may even be able to stay with you for one or two nights. Please keep this set for me. I can’t wait to see you 💕

Hi P!
What a fun necklace! Glad to see you’re keeping busy with your creativity!
Hope you’re staying warm. We have had a week of heavy snow fall and frigid temps. It’s -14 today.
Francie and I leave for China this week. We’re visiting John and his family before they move back to the US.
Should be an exciting trip!
Hope to see you soon.
Loves
Susie
