Each bead is individually hand formed after a multistage kiln firing process. Hand painting and a lustrous glaze finish off a bold and stylish necklace which is as individual as its maker. Who in all cases are some very creative young people in Cambodia who gain inspiration from their history and thus find a way to connect with their lost traditions.
