Jewellery: New Mexico Tiger's Eye & Natural Bamboo Statement Strand
A remarkably rich, tactile 68cm vintage artisan statement strand balancing the organic warmth of native woods with the shifting, protective energy of natural gemstones. This hand-strung necklace features alternating clusters of highly chatoyant, polished genuine Tiger's Eye gemstone chips and flat freeform slabs, showcasing rich bands of honey gold, shimmering amber, and deep espresso brown. The gemstone elements are masterfully paired with hand-cut sections of natural bamboo tube stalks and bright silver tone corrugated spacer beads that give the piece a beautiful structural rhythm. Finished with a classic vintage barrel screw clasp, this dramatic strand brings a sophisticated Southwestern eco-luxe aesthetic to both contemporary and classic styling.
Hand-selected genuine Tiger's Eye specimens displaying natural crystalline chatoyancy, paired rhythmically with organic hollow-core hand-cut natural bamboo stalk tubes and bright silver tone corrugated accent beads. Strung traditionally using robust multi-strand jewellers wire and completed with a durable, non-tarnish brass-based barrel screw enclosure mechanism for seamless wear. The stark juxtaposition of smooth, high-lustre organic gemstones against the matte, fibrous contours of native wood represent the classic late 20th-century Santa Fe bohemian luxury craft movement.
Handcrafted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA, during the Southwestern Bohemian Craft Revival movement.
