Crimson Noir Red & Black Kumihimo Necklace | Handcrafted Beaded Jewelry Item ID: 2677122998

The Crimson Noir Kumihimo Necklace brings a dramatic, evening-inspired elegance to handmade beaded jewelry. With its vivid crimson and deep black glass seed beads, this piece feels bold without being loud — the kind of necklace that adds confidence, polish, and a little mystery to a simple black dress, a gallery-night outfit, or an elevated everyday look.

The red and black spiral gives the necklace a sense of movement as it rests along the neckline, with the braided pattern revealing different touches of crimson and black from different angles. The effect is striking, refined, and quietly powerful — a wearable contrast of color, texture, and intention.

Hand-braided bead by bead using the traditional Japanese art of Kumihimo, Crimson Noir has a smooth rope-style silhouette with a substantial feel while remaining flexible and comfortable to wear. The dimensional beadwork gives the necklace depth and texture, while the balanced drape allows it to sit cleanly against the body.

At approximately 21.5 inches in total finished length, this necklace is designed to sit beautifully along the neckline with a polished, statement-piece fit. It is intended to rest approximately 1 inch below the clavicle, though fit may vary depending on neck size and body build.

Finished with a gunmetal-plated toggle clasp, Crimson Noir has a secure closure that complements the dark, refined feel of the design.
