Necklace Resin Trade Bead

Inspired by traditional African mud trade beads, this sculptural necklace reimagines historic bead forms in vibrant contemporary resin. Each bead is cast using a custom Africalis mold, capturing the distinctive texture and hand-shaped character of the original forms.

Translucent resin beads in rich, glowing tones are arranged along a sleek black rubber cord and accented with delicate gold-filled feather charms. The combination of traditional inspiration, modern materials, and graceful movement creates a necklace that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary.

Each piece is made and assembled by hand, so subtle variations in color and finish make every necklace unique.
