An extraordinary handcrafted necklace by Masha Archer, celebrating traditional artistry from around the world. Rich crimson coral beads are paired with striking 24-karat gold-plated hand-cast bronze woven discs, individually created using the ancient lost wax casting technique inspired by the Baoulé tribes of Cameroon. Each sculptural bead showcases intricate spiral detailing and an airy woven design, creating a bold yet elegant statement.
Adding texture and cultural depth are Khmer silver faceted cubes, traditionally stamped and scored by the hill tribes of Northern Thailand, while vivid bright red stained coral from the waters of Asia brings warmth and vibrant contrast throughout the design. The necklace is completed with 24K gold-plated findings and clasp, finished in the United States, resulting in a harmonious blend of global craftsmanship and contemporary artistry.
A true collector's piece, this necklace embodies Masha Archer's signature philosophy of bringing together rare materials, ancient techniques, and diverse cultural traditions into one timeless wearable work of art. Every handcrafted element carries its own story, making each necklace as unique as the artisan cultures that inspired it.
