Rough wood beads, hand-carved horn rondelles, lampwork discs increase in size as you glide your hand along the length of this necklace and stumble upon an intriguing focal bead. Feel the hand-carved exterior; that’s a nose, a smile, the unmistakable double chin--this bead is a carved wooden face of the Buddha.  His gaze is antiqued under layers of rust, black, and gold.  African lost wax brass beads, rhinestone spacers and a 14K gold-filled toggle transform this versatile piece into professional or gala-appropriate jewelry.
