Handcrafted beaded necklace featuring a rare vintage African bead inset with 18k gold and single brilliant-cut diamond. Each piece begins with a reclaimed, hand-polished African trade bead—its surface carries the subtle patina and color variations that only authentic vintage glass acquires over time. The bead is set in a custom-milled 18k gold bezel, precision fitted to highlight its shape and secure its presence at the necklace’s center.
A single conflict-free brilliant-cut diamond (approx. 0.05 ct) is flush-set into the gold bezel, adding a restrained point of light that complements rather than competes with the bead’s history. The necklace strand is composed of high-quality cultured freshwater pearls and hand-cut semi-precious beads chosen to echo the bead’s tones and texture, finished with a solid 14k gold clasp for durability.
Dimensions and details:
Center bead: vintage African trade glass, approximately 12–16 mm (size varies by piece)
Metal: 18k yellow gold bezel
Diamond: approx. 0.05 ct,
Strand: semi-precious accent beads
Each necklace is one-of-a-kind. Natural variation in the vintage bead and hand-selected materials make every piece unique. Made in San Diego, California. Care: avoid prolonged exposure to water, cosmetics, and harsh chemicals; clean gently with a soft cloth.
