Exhibit I

Bold, worldly and rich in character, pairs oversized 20mm ceramic beads inspired by the beauty of natural turquoise with an antique decorative bead from Afghanistan, featuring turquoise, red coral and aged brass details. Double hand-knotted on cream nylon cord, this striking necklace celebrates craftsmanship, culture and contemporary style.

The ceramic beads offer the vibrant look of turquoise while remaining lightweight and durable. At its heart sits a beautifully timeworn Afghan bead, adding history, texture and a sense of discovery to this one-of-a-kind design.

Handcrafted by Cathy Pope in her Ponsonby studio using carefully sourced materials from her travels.
