Balascia necklace

$120.00

Inspiration

Balascia, Afghanistan, emerges like twilight stone from the cradle of ancient trade routes, its deep blues echoing the high-altitude night skies that once guided caravans across the Silk Road.

Essential elements

  • 6mm sodalite beads and Japanese miyuki glass beads

  • Gold plated charms and freshwater pearls

  • Each bead is hand strung on jewellery wire, chosen for its strength and grace

  • Necklace measures 50cms and comes with a 5cm extension chain if you would like to wear it a bit longer.

How to care for your jewellery

Your jewellery is designed to be worn every day but taking care of your piece is important and will extend its life.

  • When you are not wearing your piece, please place it in its packaging away from sunlight.

  • Remove your jewellery before swimming, showering or washing.

  • Avoid contact with lotions, soap, oils and cleaning products.

    Rub gently with a soft cloth to clean.

  • Elasticated bracelets should be rolled onto your hand and never stretched repeatedly.

    Each piece is robust enough for daily wear but please take care with glass beads. If they are knocked on a hard surface or dropped, the beads can break or crack.

Returns and exchanges

Each piece is a one-off item or made as part of a very small batch. As a result, I don’t offer returns or exchanges for change of mind. Please make sure you read the descriptions, sizing information and refer to the photos provided. If you are unsure about sizing, for example, please reach out before making a purchase.

If you believe the item you have received is faulty, please send an email to doutre.designs@gmail.com within 7 days from receipt of your item and provide photos of the fault.

Please note that each item is handmade and may feature natural materials such as freshwater pearls and gemstones. Any variations in size, colour and shape in these natural materials is not a defect but reflects the natural beauty of raw materials.
