As might be expected, some of the necklaces I make are inspired whence rummaging through a bead store and coming across beads that catch my eye. This certainly applies to my Alligator Skin beaded jewelry necklace.
I really loved the earthy quality of the triangular accent beads that I’ve used as a focal point for this necklace, and actually helped to really free style the design. This took several times of putting the necklace together, remaining unhappy with it, and reassembling it until I got it just right; balancing the slightly uncanny color palette. The result is a wonderfully expressive tribal piece that is quite reptilian. Wear it and connect with the reptile inside!
