100% personally beachcombed sea glass. Gently cleaned and hand crafted in to a beautiful creation personally by Heidi of Pacific Patina. Shades of blue, purple and tan fibers are coordinated with three pieces of sea glass, including rare cobalt blue, in a cluster at the clasp. Size: 7.75-8.5 inches with an adjustable lobster clasp. The length of this piece can be extended, just note the maximum length you would like in "Add note to seller" during checkout. What is くみひも Kumihimo? Kumihimo roughly translates to “Gathering of Threads” and is a traditional Japanese form of braid-making that dates back to the Nara period in the 8th century. The art was a closely guarded secret, passed down through oral tradition. Historically is has been used in clothing, religious ceremonies, and for lacing armor and weaponry. The repetitions of the braiding process are very soothing, similar to the rhythmic sounds of the ocean waves that create sea glass and sea pottery. A very natural pairing!
