Golden Petals Kinetic Necklace

This breathtaking necklace is truly a work of kinetic art, and that’s just what jeweler Takara Beatheagudell intends. She crafts petals out of handmade, polymer-coated gold paper and hand-ties each one onto elastic cord so that they dance with the slightest movement. The effect is stunning, and stronger than it seems. Born in the Virgin Islands, Takara now lives and makes art in Petalura’s hometown of Chicago.
