Handcrafted in 22k gold plated bronze and tribal beads, the Mali necklace is inspired by the beaded necklaces worn by by the tribeswomen women of Araku. Tribal beads were recast to create the gold beaded forms. The colours of the necklace were inspired by the Araku Valley, the dark green forests, the red coffee cherries and crisp blue skies. A tribute to the tribeswomen behind Araku Coffee, the piece is an attempt to bring beautiful heritage jewellery into the contemporary era.
