Clementines are hybrid citrus fruits, a cross between mandarin and sweet oranges. Clementines resemble tangerines, but the two are distinct citrus varieties. Clementines are smaller and more oval in shape, with thinner skin for easier peeling and a sweeter taste. Their bright orange color is found in the handblown lampwork glass beads that are strung on a leather cord in this short 16" necklace. Artisans at Unicorne Beads, a small independently owned business in California, have made beautiful glass creations such as these color-rich borosilicate glass teardrops since 1967. This simple necklace is a fun splash of color with patterned wood beads and a sterling silver hook and eye clasp finishing the metallic leather cord.

Cost: $37.00 USD

Length: necklace - 16"

Materials:

  • Unicorne Beads lampwork glass teardrops
  • wood beads
  • sterling silver hook and eye clasp
  • leather 2mm cord

Care & cleaning: Beading cord may be kinked or broken through hard jerks or severed through prolonged exposure to rough or sharp edges; store necklace flat when not in use to prevent stretching or kinking cord. Clean with warm soapy washcloth and avoid chemical or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft jewelry polishing cloth to clean tarnish appearing on metal.

The materials and cord are robust against tugs and pulls, though care should be taken because hard impacts can damage the softer wood. As with all beaded jewelry: do not let young toddlers chew on it.
