Gorgeous Funky Frog Necklace featuring Hand painted Eucalyptus Pod Bead, Mali Brass Beads, Vegetable Ivory Beads and Ebony Wood Beads. There are two necklaces to choose from. They were made to wear separately but do look fantastic together! For a big necklace the Seed Pods make for a very light necklace. While visiting Australia i didn't have to look very far for beads ... the trees were full of various fruits that would make spectacular beads. These seed pods are from the Eucalyptus tree. They are naturally dried and then microwaved!! I found out that Australia's Aboriginal People also used these pods to make jewelry with. I found myself in good company!

African Beads are made of all kinds of material but these were the first tree resin African Amber Beads i have found and the only!! A gorgeous natural look! The necklace is strung on beading wire 19-20" long with a brass lobster closure.

Out of stockFunky Frog's original necklace! Way back at the beginning there was a trip to Mexico with Ruth Shiner where we learnt to make these wonderful bead soup necklaces with tassles ... i totally fell in love with the design as it works so well with my beloved African Beads. Then wonderful Silvia of Boutique Sisi bought one and starting wearing the necklace in her store .... many, many necklaces later i renamed this necklace after her as she really kept the necklace alive. Every necklace is one of a kind because they are made of one of a kind African Trade Beads with a few Lost Wax Brass Beads and the every present rich red Tomato bead... This necklace is strung on beadwire with a brass lobster claw closure measuring from 17" to 19" long.
