White Beaded Necklace, Bracelet & Earrings Set - Handmade African

A three piece beaded set built on white cord, banded at intervals with red, green, blue, orange and yellow beads and capped in gold tone. White does the opposite of what black does. Instead of holding the colour back it throws it forward, so the bands read as bright blocks rather than as accents. Includes one multi strand collar necklace, one matching bracelet and one pair of drop earrings. This is the version people reach for when the rest of the outfit is already plain. Over white linen, a black dress, denim, or traditional dress cut in a single colour, it becomes the thing people look at. It is bright without being heavy, which makes it easier to wear in daylight than most statement jewellery. The necklace is worked in multiple strands with a knotted section at the centre front, fastening at the back with a gold tone clasp and a short chain so the drop can be adjusted. The bracelet and earrings carry the same beads in the same order, which is what makes the three pieces read as one set. One honest note: white shows what black hides. Foundation, perfume and hand cream all mark pale cord, so this set rewards being put on last and taken off first. Every strand is strung by hand, so the spacing of the colour bands varies slightly from set to set. Care: keep away from perfume, lotion, make up and water. Lay the necklace flat or hang it rather than folding it into a box so the strands do not tangle, and wipe it down with a dry soft cloth after wearing.
