About this item

Inspired by the quiet colors of morning just before the mist begins to lift, the Morning Mist Kumihimo Necklace blends soft blue, smoky mauve, silvery gray, and lustrous white accents into a peaceful, understated design. The muted colors shift gently around the necklace like patches of sky, clouds, and fading shadows, creating a piece that feels soothing, feminine, and easy to wear.

Morning Mist adds color without demanding attention. Its soft palette pairs beautifully with white, gray, blue, denim, and other cool neutrals, making it equally at home with a relaxed linen top, office attire, or a favorite dress. Scattered lustrous white beads brighten the design and give the necklace a lightly speckled appearance reminiscent of sunlight beginning to break through the haze.

Handcrafted using traditional Japanese Kumihimo braiding techniques, the necklace is made with 6/0 glass seed beads. These larger beads create a fuller, more substantial profile than necklaces made with smaller 8/0 seed beads while retaining the smooth, flexible feel of a braided rope necklace.

Handcrafted using a design created by Karen Huntoon of What-a-Braid, with permission for commercial use.

Bead & Braid Collective

Bead & Braid Collective grew from my love of working with beads and creating handcrafted pieces that combine beautiful colors, interesting textures, and detailed craftsmanship.

My work includes Kumihimo jewelry, created using the traditional Japanese art of braiding, as well as intricately beaded ornament covers. I enjoy exploring different color combinations and selecting materials that bring out the beauty and character of each piece.

Everything in my collection is handcrafted by me in Arizona, one bead at a time. Whether I'm creating a bracelet, necklace, or decorative ornament cover, I take pride in the patience, attention to detail, and care that go into the finished piece.

My love of Kumihimo has also inspired Woven with Purpose, a personal fundraising effort benefiting the Alzheimer's Association. Alzheimer's has touched our family, and this project allows me to connect something I enjoy creating with a cause that's especially meaningful to me.

Through Bead & Braid Collective, my goal is simple: to offer carefully handcrafted pieces that are as enjoyable to own or give as they are for me to create.

Designed with intention. Crafted without compromise.

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 handcrafted in 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. For every Shades of Violet bracelet purchased, I will donate $15 to the Alzheimer's Association through my Woven with Purpose fundraising page (https://events.alz.org/fundraisers/tracyjohnson/woven-with-purpose). Each purchase helps support the Association's work in research, care, education, and family support.
