Dark Brown Coconut Disc Necklace with Light Spacer Beads

Thin discs cut from coconut shell are dyed and strung into this short necklace. Most of the discs are a deep brown, and a few lighter beads sit between them, so the strand reads as a neat collar at the base of the neck. No length is listed for it, so judge the fit from the photo on the display form.

Coconut is one of the most used craft materials in Thai and Lao markets, where the hard shell is cut into buttons, bowls and beads. The strand is light and easy to wear with open collars. Wipe it dry with a cloth and avoid soaking it, since water can loosen the cord.

Naree picked it for Uniquely Thai Lao TV.
