A modern metal and silk necklace, the white silk ribbon has been knitted and then dyed using black fabric dye. The color is darkest at the bottom center of the necklace and fades from charcoal to smoke and gray as the dye moved up the silk.
I added a ½” (14mm) round metal mesh bead in gunmetal gray as the focal point. The knitted silk rope is finished with silver-plated ribbon clamps and a long silver-plated chain.
The necklace measures approximately 26” (66cm) long and can be slipped over your head there is no clasp to fiddle with.
