This vibrant, chevron-shaped necklace is made from Snake Glass trade beads and vintage brass chain. Snake Glass beads are African trade beads made from recycled glass. The way the beads interlock is intended to mimic the structure and movement of snake vertebrae. This color pattern is called "Sunset".
Finished with a brass lobster clasp. Total length is 22". Layers beautifully with the long Snake Glass Necklaces.
ASTALI Jewelry is designed and handmade by Los Angeles-based creator, Shannon De Jong. Since her childhood in rural Iowa, she has been collecting and repurposing found objects. She eventually began to customize jewelry and would find ways to turn just about any small object into an adornment.
Although self-taught, Shannon made her way from jewelry production, to sample-making, to design, and then on to management of both design and production teams for other designers. All the while she kept a home studio to refine her skills and experiment with the raw materials she loved most.
