Budha Knot Necklace, Bracelet or Earrings ~ assorted pricing
This necklace, Bracelet and Earrings are made of several strands of metal that are welded together on 2 ends, and form an intricate knot in the middle. Around the knot on both sides, there are other pieces of metal that form 4 layers of metal in the shape of braids perpendicular to the main strands of metal, followed by two loops, continuing in another 4 layers of perpendicular, “braided” metal. The knot in the middle with the braided metal decorations make this necklace a bit heavy on that end, but this works well to keep it in place. It is very malleable and easy to fit.
