The Cocopah tribe near me makes beaded collars similar to some that Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg used to wear. They mostly use plastic beads now. I was thinking Iād like to make one, so went in search of free patterns. [craftfreebies.com]
It looks like an antique precious necklace! I've never interacted with people from the Cocopah tribe. But I want to say that their collars are cool. I want a beaded necklace, but similar to the scales of a rattlesnake. I saw this on a girl, but I didn't ask her where she bought it. I really like to choose accessories and jewelry. I often buy matching bracelets for friends or for my partners since I love making gifts. But I'd buy jewelry like these Cocopah collars only for myself. Such jewelry has an energy that I don't want to share. Btw, I believe that matching bracelets invisibly connect their carriers. What do you think about it?
It IS Cocopah.
Are these ones you made or would like to make?
They are beautiful and I imagine would take a bit of time to complete.
I have not made any yet. These are the ones for which I found patterns. They very closely resemble Cocopah beading, but on a smaller scale. When I attended the annual Cocopah Cultural Day a couple of times, I have seen simple versions like this for sale
@MsKathleen Good luck with them
@Budgie Exquisite!
