This okama necklace was beaded by hand on a small table loom. This is a technique passed from mother to daughter across generations of Emberá-Chamí women in Colombia.

Deep indigo gives way to soft white, dusty rose, and threads of bronze, radiating outward. Worn around the neck and open at the back.

This piece carries the energy of the hands and devotion of the women who made it. No two are ever quite the same.

• Hand-beaded by artisans of the Emberá-Chamí Nation of Colombia
• Made on a small wooden table loom, a technique held for generations
