Overall Length: 19″
Hand knotted Raku beads made by an extraordinary Raku ceramicist in England together with a wonderful shard of turquoise wrapped in macrame and artisan made clasp. Traditional Japanese Raku is pottery that is taken from the kiln while red hot and put together with combustible materials. Lampworking and Raku are an expert contemporary fusion of these two complicated processes that create highly unique effects. Turquoise is an ancient beloved healing stone. It is the stone of wisdom and good fortune.
