Petite Kirsten Necklace

• Indian brass beads
• Nepalese pendant inlaid with turquoise and coral
• brass toggle clasp
• 49"

The Petite Kirsten necklace is one of my most popular pieces for good reason. It can be worn as a long strand or wrapped two or three times as a short necklace. The necklace features a mix of Indian brass and a mosaic Nepalese pendant with turquoise and coral accents. All of the brass beads appear to be uniform but if you wrap it three times you will see two rows of beads are flat and one row is faceted, so they catch the light differently.

This design was named after my dear friend Kirsten, my first Production Assistant. I planned to call it simply “The Kirsten” but a comedienne friend said, “No, not The Kirsten. Call it the PetiteKirsten” which describes her well.
