Product Description
Kyanite and clear quartz meet across 108 beads, two stones with different geological origins and different optical qualities alternating through a single count on olive green woven silk. The kyanite blue and the quartz clarity sit in quiet contrast without competing.
The piece includes eight millimetre sterling silver Chinese Fu marker beads framed within signature bead surrounds and is completed with a ten millimetre Fu Guru bead.
