Floating Spheres Necklace
Floating Spheres Necklace
Seed glass beads, circular stainless steel hoops, and satin cord
2025

This large necklace is a sculptural, airy composition combining circular wire forms with hand-woven beaded spheres. Nine open-mesh beadwork units, each shaped like a small, latticed polyhedral “pod”, are spaced evenly along a sequence of large, lightweight metal hoops. The hoops overlap slightly, forming a rhythmic chain of interlocking circles that frames the beaded spheres and gives the necklace an elegant, floating geometry.

Each beaded form is crafted from tiny glass seed beads in tones of deep blue, bronze, soft taupe, and iridescent greens. Their porous, cellular structures create a delicate contrast against the smooth, minimalist wire circles. The beadwork pods appear to hover within and between the hoops, casting gentle shadows and adding dimension.

Suspended from a soft, adjustable satin cord, the necklace has a light, airy drape despite its sculptural scale. The interplay between the rigid circular frames and the organic, bubble-like beadwork creates a harmonious balance of structure and softness, an architectural yet poetic piece that evokes cellular growth, constellations, and floating forms in nature.
