Funky Frog's original necklace in gorgeous Fall Colours! 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 in Fall colours with a few Lost Wax Brass Beads and this time an unusual pumkin Tomato Bead... This necklace is strung on beadwire with a brass lobster claw closure measuring from 18" to 20" long.
