Miyuki Beaded Band Ring - 2-in-1 Ring & Pendant

This flexible 2-in-1 design was created to move beyond the idea of a ring having only one way to be worn. Handwoven from Japanese Miyuki seed beads and rows of tiny 2 mm gemstones or faceted Czech Preciosa glass beads, it forms a wide, textured band around the finger - then transforms into a pendant simply by threading it onto a chain, cord, ribbon, thread or another suitable base. Its use can go beyond the two ways shown in the photographs: depending on the size and construction of the jewellery you already own, the ring can also be slipped onto a larger hoop earring and worn as a removable pendant or charm. From there, the possibilities are open to your own imagination.

Seven colour combinations give the design very different personalities: deep lapis lazuli with either gold or silver Miyuki, black tourmaline against cool silver, warm carnelian and tiger’s eye paired with gold, softly mottled unakite with silver, and honey-coloured faceted Preciosa glass framed by light bronze beads. The tiny stones are arranged in three continuous rows within the beadwork, creating texture, movement and subtle changes in colour as the ring turns. Japanese Miyuki beads were chosen not only for their precise shape and finish, but for the consistency that allows such a detailed, flexible structure to be built bead by bead.

Although its width and texture give it a strong visual presence, this is not a piece that needs to be saved for a particular occasion. Worn as a ring, on a chain or cord as a pendant, attached to compatible jewellery, or used in another way you make your own, it can take on a different character each time. Each ring can be made or adjusted to your selected size. If your size is not listed, simply choose Custom Size and leave your required ring size in the order notes. Handmade rather than mass-produced, it is designed for people who enjoy jewellery that can change with them - distinctive enough to be noticed, versatile enough to be worn again and again.

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS

Avoid prolonged contact with water, perfumes, cosmetics and household chemicals. Remove the ring before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.

The piece is flexible, but the beadwoven structure should not be stretched, twisted or pulled beyond its natural movement. When using it as a pendant or with other jewellery, make sure the chain, cord, hoop or other base passes through the opening without forcing or distorting the beadwork.

Store separately from other jewellery to help protect the small stones, glass beads and Miyuki finishes from scratches and unnecessary friction.

Please note: Product colours may appear slightly different depending on lighting conditions and individual screen settings.
