Frosty Fall Foliage Necklace and retailer Earring Set

The shapes of this frosty foliage mimics the designs etched on the dark bone beads in this necklace and earring set. I paired the bone beads with cream-colored wafer beads from Kazuri, a women's cooperative in Nairobi, Kenya, and offset them with small retailer brass spacers. I then hung them from lengths of gold-pate chain. The result is an almost organic looking design, one that was designed for women, but could equally be worn by a confident man. The necklace is 18 inches long and closes with a lobster claw clasp. The earrings hang approximately 0.75 inches below the earwires.
