Necklaces

Discover handmade necklaces with old glass beads, Bonda beads, White Hearts and symbolic charms. Distinctive jewellery from India, each piece with its own colour, character and story.

Handmade necklaces with a special story

Koperberg necklaces are characterised by colour, craftsmanship and distinctive beads. The collection includes delicate beaded necklaces, long necklaces, multi-strand designs and pieces combining old glass beads with symbolic charms.

Small variations in colour, shape and surface give these handmade necklaces their lively character. Rather than machine-made uniformity, each piece allows the materials and craftsmanship to remain visible.

Necklaces with old Bonda beads

An important part of the collection is made with Bonda beads. These old glass beads come from necklaces originally worn by Bonda women from Odisha in India.

By reusing the beads in contemporary necklaces, they are given a new life while retaining their original character. The subtle differences between the beads make every necklace slightly different.

White Hearts and colourful glass beads

White Hearts also feature prominently in the collection. These traditional glass beads have a white core covered by a layer of coloured glass, creating rich colours and subtle variations that are especially beautiful in multi-strand necklaces.

The collection includes red, blue, natural shades and many other colour combinations. Choose a vibrant beaded necklace or a more understated design that is easy to combine with different styles.

Symbolic charms and different lengths

Some necklaces are finished with a bronze charm, lotus, dorje or another symbolic element. These details add extra meaning to the design and create a beautiful contrast with the small glass beads.

The collection includes both shorter necklaces and long designs that can be worn loose or wrapped around the neck more than once. The number of strands also varies, from delicate designs to richer necklaces with three or five strands.

Carefully made in India

Koperberg combines old and distinctive beads with contemporary designs. The jewellery is carefully assembled by skilled women artisans, with respect for the materials and the original character of the beads.
