{"product_id":"kirabo-chunky-handmade-rustic-beaded-single-strand-boho-necklace","title":"Kirabo 1 Chunky Handmade Rustic Beaded Single Strand Boho Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe named these darling, simple to wear single strand necklaces Kirabo which means gift in Luganda (a local language in Uganda). It is also my Ugandan name. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are bold, chunky, rustic and totally fabulous. I wear them all the time and they often stir up a conversation about the beads. Which is great, as I get to talk about my work. I wear them with a t-shirt and also with a pin stripe suit. Just love the contrast. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paperbeads for these necklaces are made from recycled book pages and magazine paper, no two are exactly alike. Some of the text is readable and very visible across the beads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paperbeads have been made from strips of paper, rolled tightly and then varnished 5 times for durability before being strung into a necklace. This is a very time consuming process. But, it is like making something beautiful from nothing.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are different shapes of beads in this necklace. But the main feature of this design are the chunky flat tubular beads that are just about 1 2\/8 of an inch. There are 4 such beads in each necklace. And the colors vary quite a bit since they are made from magazine and book pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seed beads in this necklace are either gold tone or pewter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a silver tone lobster clasp. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe length of each necklace is just about 13 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are handmade by our team of women artisans in the slums of Kampala, Uganda. No two necklaces are alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tugende Design","offers":[{"title":"Pewter Seed Beads","offer_id":35191984685221,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bronze Seed Beads","offer_id":35191984717989,"sku":"","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/4294\/9935\/products\/2F17E44A-1E29-45CD-85BB-76E5315A7851.jpg?v=1706483676","url":"https:\/\/tugendedesign.us\/products\/kirabo-chunky-handmade-rustic-beaded-single-strand-boho-necklace","provider":"Tugende Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
