Honoring sea and sky, these beads are extremely rare finds from Africa known as Dutch doughnuts, typically from Mali.  (Some date to the late 19th century, others to the early-to-mid 20th century.) The opalescent, frosted white beads are luminous, and the pale lavender and cobalt blues are even more rare, so we created a playful-yet-elegant combination of all, clasped simply with a gilt copper box clasp at 18" in length.
