Segmented Strand Lariat / Necklace in Coral, Indigo, and Ivory - Map of Connection & Flow – Enkito e Olomunyak (Step of Blessing).

More than a necklace—this is a continuous, fluid map of color blocking, light texture, and endless possibility.

Introducing the Enkito e Olomunyak Map of Connection & Flow:

An extra-long, delicate lariat-style necklace designed for versatile layering and rhythmic movement. This piece is composed entirely of tiny, uniformly sized seed beads strung on a durable thread, creating a lightweight, smooth strand that can be doubled or tripled. The color arrangement is the heart of the design, featuring distinct, non-repeating segments of:

  1. Luminous Ivory-White: Symbolizing clarity and open space.

  2. Soft Coral/Peach: Evoking the warmth of the setting sun and healing.

  3. Deep Indigo-Blue: Representing the vast sky, wisdom, and grounding.

  4. Bright Orange & Gold Accents: Adding focused energy, prosperity, and light.

This intentional segmentation transforms simple beadwork into a modern, abstract composition, representing the varied and connected paths of a long journey.

Artisan Connection:

This minimalist style of seed bead necklace is an elegant reinterpretation of traditional layering (like shanga), where multiple long, fine strands are stacked to create volume and color. Hand-strung with extraordinary patience and precision by skilled artisans, the piece celebrates the purity of the bead form. The deliberate, non-repeating color blocks offer a contemporary nod to the traditional coding of colors in African beadwork, where colors speak a language of relationship, status, and geography.
