Designed exclusively at Dacuba's Jewelry We've put a twist on our classic Rice Bead necklace. This is a great piece to wear alone or as a layered look. The necklace is made with the extra large size rice bead. 16", 18" or 20" length / 4mm / 925 Sterling Silver During the Colonial Period, South Carolina was the largest producer of rice in America. The crop arrived in the area around 1685, when a ship sailed off course from the Island of Madagascar. Landing in Charleston for repairs, the Captain expressed his gratitude, by giving the Governor of the colony a handful of rice grains. From then on, rice became a primary export of Charleston. Today, rice still symbolizes Charleston's bountiful history and remains an iconic product to South Carolina.
