FLORA Necklace | One of a Kind | Biodegradable Cord | Repurposed Antique Beads
A tribute to the women who came before nomadic, adorned, and powerful.
The FLORA Necklace features a rare, hand-forged, flower-embossed silver bead an antique approximately 60-80 years old, likely from the Kuchi or Turkmen tribes. Once worn by mountain dwelling women as part of their dowry, these intricately detailed beads embodied both status and storytelling.

Here, the bead is given new life rested softly on a biodegradable silicone cord in either a sleek matte black or crystal-clear finish (your choice). A symbol of strength in bloom, this necklace is for those who walk with quiet resilience and an open heart.

As seen on the timeless Gutierrez women in our @alexandriablackbijou Generations shoot and worn by the ever, radiant Alison Krauss. See the matching FLORA earrings, available now.

Cord length: 18" (default)
Custom length available upon request (14”-22")

Styling Tip:
Layer it with delicate chains for a textural mix, or wear it solo to let the bead speak for itself. Pairs beautifully with silk, linen, leather, or denim. A daily talisman. A quiet rebel’s choice.

Each Alexandria Black piece is a reverent expression of natural history and cultural legacy crafted from gemstones, crystals, fine metals, leather, feathers, bark, and antique textiles. Inspired by the primitive elegance of tribal adornment, ceremonial tools, ancient armor, and sacred ritual objects, these accessories carry the essence of protection, identity, and memory.

My creative process is rooted in an ethnological admiration for global cultures, and deeply informed by the textures of pottery, textiles, and natural materials. Fragrance is part of that ritual; each piece is accompanied by a seasonal aromatherapy blend, a sensory gift to ground your experience. Each smaller jewelry and accessory item is securely shipped within the Alexandria Black keepsake satchel - crafted entirely from repurposed materials like antique Metropolitan Opera programs, modern design drawings, Indian saris, past-season design swatches, and lighting gels.

Influenced daily by music, architecture, nature, and the magic of art; these designs are both personal and timeless. They are heirlooms in motion, meant to be worn with intention and passed on with love.
