Gandhara Necklace

The Gandhara is the long pendant in the Zarmina collection-  a vertical cascade of triangular beadwork frames descending into fans of teardrop gemstones at each tier. The geometry comes from ancient Gandhara, the northwest stretch of the Indian subcontinent where Greek, Buddhist, and Central Asian visual languages met in stupa architecture and stone friezes. Translated into beadwork, those friezes become portable: a vertical pattern of triangles giving way to teardrops, giving way to triangles again.

It's the piece for the days you're already buttoned up- turtleneck, collared shirt, high boatneck, when the necklace needs to fall, not fan. Currently made in amazonite, carnelian, and more.
