Eight beaded cords are woven into single unique necklace using the ancient Japanese weaving technique "Kumihimo."  

Historical used  by Samurai warriors to lace & decorate their armor and swords.  As it became more refined, decorative braids were introduced, until each braid was so unique that it became a symbol of a Japanese warrior’s status. 

​Far from the needs of a warrior, today’s Kumihimo has blossomed into a jewelry art form that encompasses silk cords, beads of all types and fine metal wire. 

The 22~ 3/4" necklace contains Czech Glass and Copper Beads in hues of red, brown and gold. End caps and clasp are handcrafted in textured copper and embellished with Sterling Silver.
