I have been exploring how merovingian /Frankish necklaces far from only using native made beads, used a lot of glass jewellery made in and around Asía according to studies.
With this in mind, I have put together this intricate Merovingian noblewomans' necklace using a combination of European, indonesian and Indian made glass beads which roughly correspond to bead types discovered in finds. This will be the last of this type of jewellery I will make while í focus on other historical jewellery projects.
Please note this is not a replica of a specific find.

Whew! That was the workshop done, and what fun we had 😃
One or two struggled, but so far everybody seems to have enjoyed themselves learning a new skill. It is a small, intimate little group, which I felt able to manage easy.
These are a few of the best painted pieces we ended up with.
Many thanks to Renew for asking me to do the workshop this week.

Not a selling post, just showing off the work that was made.
