Bicho Canasto Necklace

With unconventional materials, Diana Schimmel creates a bold and colorful interpretation of a classic beaded necklace. In her Bicho Canasto Necklace, brightly-hued fabric is hand-rolled to form geometric beads for a dynamic piece of jewelry. The fabric beads are strung alongside small glass beads in complimenting colors for a unique necklace that conveys the wearer's appreciation for fashionable design. Recalling the culture of her homeland, Schimmel's designs incorporate craft and technology with exuberance. The designer was originally trained as an architect where she gained a new respect for materials and construction that continue to impact her work. Capturing the textural nature of the material, the Bicho Canasto Necklace is a stunning way to elevate any outfit.
