The matte blue midnight metallic dragon scale beads are stunning as they posses specks of purple, black, blue and a hint of metallic pink. These beads are some of the largest beads made by manufacturers in Japan. We randomly place over 1000 dragon scale beads in this necklace so no two are alike.This statement necklace is finished with a black acrylic magnet end cap that has a strong hold. * NOTE: Item listed is 1 strand not 3 as seen in illustration of designs seen in some photos.
Our necklaces feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean dry towel every few months to keep dust free and bright. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are woven then together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand.

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos
