recycled African vulcanite vinyl bead necklaces
These necklaces are designed to make your heart sing!
These are one of my all time favourites. Such a simple concept using wonderful old beads.
I used to use a lot of old African beads in my designs. Truth is I still have boxes of lovely old beads that i will use ... one day.
These necklaces are made from old hardened vinyl. The original old ones arrived in a filthy, dusty state. They have been soaked and cleaned but some still have a a weathered old appearance, which adds to their charm.
The listing gives the colour of the rubber cord and then the bead colour
The beads are come in different sizes and are threaded on various colour rubber cord. So please pay attention to the colour combination you choose and the matching photo.
They are unbelievably light which makes them the perfect summer necklace. Something that can be thrown over a light dress - or even a top thrown over your swimmers.
Most of the necklaces have a drop of about 49 cm /19 inches. their total length is about 100 cm / 39 inches
The bright green / green necklace is shorter than the others it has a drop of about 40cm / 15 inches and has a total length of 80cm
