Hip Hemp, Bamboo Beads and Copper Heart Necklace
Tammy Powley
The wonderful reds and earth-tone in bamboo beads inspired this necklace strung on hemp and accented with a copper clay heart pendant. The bamboo beads also have an eclectic mix of size, shape, and patterns to them. While this piece has a distinctive feminine touch with the lace-textured copper heart pendant, remove it and you could easily turn this into a more unisex design.
