Drape Code Necklace

The Drape Code started as tinkering with geometry- what would it look like if a necklace were built from rows of information instead of curves of ornament? Each horizontal line carries strung gemstones, anchored on either side by loops of seed beads that drape the whole bib into an inverted triangle. The structure does the work.

It's the most diagrammatic piece in the Tsuga lineup- looks a little like sheet music, a little like cuneiform, a little like something sketched in a field notebook. Wear it with a plain dark top, like a clean scoop neck or turtleneck gives the rows room to read.
