Frida Necklace

Frida, in ten thousand beads. Her portrait shaded grey on grey like an old photograph, beneath a canopy of red roses blooming on black — the flowers she wore like armor. A loomed portrait gerdan, handmade in Ukraine: glass seed beads woven bead by bead on thread, the face rendered row by careful row, finished with a graded beaded fringe. One of one. Arrives gift-ready.
