About this item

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.

Tracy Johnson Mesa, AZ | Hand-braided Kumihimo jewelry made with care in Arizona.

Hi, I’m Tracy — the artist behind Bead & Braid Collective.

I discovered Kumihimo during a chaotic time when I needed something calming, structured, and creative. What started as a quiet creative outlet became a meaningful way to design jewelry with patience, intention, and attention to detail.

Each piece is hand-braided using traditional Japanese Kumihimo techniques, glass seed beads, and carefully chosen color patterns. I love creating jewelry that feels thoughtful, wearable, and just a little bit special.

Maker BadgeAlzheimer’s Awareness Bracelet Collection

My Alzheimer’s Awareness bracelets were created from personal caregiving experience and a desire to honor families affected by Alzheimer’s. Each bracelet is designed with shades of violet, a color often associated with Alzheimer’s awareness, and is meant to symbolize love, strength, memory, and support. This collection is especially close to my heart because it reflects both the beauty and difficulty of walking alongside someone through memory loss. My hope is that these bracelets offer a small but meaningful way to show support, start conversations, and remind caregivers and families that they are not alone. A portion of the proceeds from each Alzheimer’s Awareness bracelet will be donated to the Alzheimer’s Association to support their work in care, support, research, and advocacy.
