The Story
Wood beadwork is one of India's most enduring small-craft trades, built on skills passed through family workshops: turning raw wood into uniform beads, dyeing them in small batches, and stringing them by hand. This necklace draws on that lineage, using layered strands of dyed wood rather than metal or glass to build its color and volume.
The multi-strand, or layered, necklace format is a long-standing way of using humble materials to create a substantial piece. By repeating many thin strands of the same bead in related shades, the maker builds visual weight and richness without relying on precious materials, letting color and repetition do the work of a bolder, single statement piece.
The soft pink, lilac, and peach palette here reflects a common practice in Indian bead workshops of dyeing wood in graduated, closely related tones so that layered strands read as one harmonious surface rather than a patchwork of separate colors.
Each bead starts as a small block of wood, turned on a lathe or shaped by hand into a rounded, uniform form, then sanded smooth before dyeing. Batches of beads are dipped in dye baths mixed to the pink, lilac, and peach shades used in this piece, then dried and sorted by color. An artisan threads the beads onto multiple cords, working strand by strand to build up the layered length, before knotting off the ends and finishing the necklace with a wooden hook clasp shaped to match the beads so the closure disappears into the design.

Questions & Answers

It's made entirely of wood beads, hand-dyed in pink, lilac, and peach tones and strung in multiple layered strands.
How does the necklace close?
It closes with a wooden hook clasp that matches the beads, so it blends into the design instead of standing out as hardware.
