Antique handmade silver beads from Yemen are arranged across layers of dark-brown hemp cord, creating a bold yet beautifully organic statement necklace.
Each Yemeni bead was shaped and decorated by hand using traditional silversmithing techniques. Their softly irregular forms, time-worn surfaces and natural patina preserve the character of the original makers. As historic silver alloys varied between artisans and periods, “antique silver” describes the beads’ age, origin and workmanship rather than a guaranteed sterling-silver purity.
The beads are individually spaced across the layered hemp cord, allowing each form to stand out while creating movement and rhythm across the neckline. Naturally strong yet lightweight and flexible, the dark-brown hemp softens the silver’s formality and gives the necklace an earthy, contemporary edge.
Every difference in shape, tone and surface forms part of its story. Reimagined by SuhaniMara, this piece brings together Yemeni heritage, natural fibre and modern design.
