Tara

• Vintage shell beads, indian silver beads and a naga tribe centre bead.
• Modern s-hook clasp in sterling silver.

The naga bead takes centre stage - vintage tribal silver, carrying the mark of hands, not machines. That's not a flaw, it's the point. a defining trait of naga craftsmanship is its deliberate lack of factory perfection.

Worn with your favourite kaftan, for drinks.

Polish the silver only, very gently with a soft cloth. leave tarnish in the deep recesses, it's what holds the detail and the history. keep it dry - off for showers, swims, dishes. perfume and products go on before the necklace, not after. store wrapped, away from light.
