Crocheted Multi Coloured Bead Necklace

Beads have always played an important role in the ornamental art of Anatolian culture.

Sometimes one, sometimes hundreds of beads are part of this beauty.

Turkish people use the proverb “my craft, my sight” when it comes to intricate crafts and art.

The Necklace came from the light of a lady’s eyes and her crochet hook.

The beads were added one after the other during the day of knitting.

The colourful part was made using the headscarf knitting technique.

The lady made this with the inclusion of an old dowry.

History resonates in this work of art and is at the same time the result of the continuous modern revival of this art form.

These necklaces break the spell of despair to which these ‘housewives’ were exposed and help them to earn money and thus achieve independence.
