LoveHate Facet Bead Necklace Acier Grey

If you know our brand there is a good chance you have seen our Facet Bead Necklaces around. One of our classic pieces, we have been running this style every season for a few years now - each season re-working the design in fresh new colours and finishes. 

Originating as a hand sketch, we designed these beads from scratch and you won't find this unique shape anywhere else! After a CAD sketch our original facet bead was 3D printed to provide the foundation for a wax cast, to create the first bead. We have been casting these necklaces from this initial bead ever since. Our beads are cast in spun copper, so they have a lovely weight to them. Each necklace is then hand strung on vegetable tanned leather and length is adjustable. 

To care for your copper beads, we recommend keeping your jewellery in it's original packaging when not being worn and avoiding letting your pieces get wet for an extended amount of time. With matt pieces, eventually the colour can rub off, mostly on the raised surfaces. What you will get is the beautiful pinkish tones of the natural copper peaking through. We have designed the beads to do this and we think that the copper is a feature. Like a well worn leather jacket, your necklace will share the marks of your travels.

You may also find that after extended wear your copper surfaces may dull, develop some discolouration or a patina. This will take much longer on our clear coated gloss pieces. We tend to like this aged look, but if you'd love to see your copper bright and shiny again, try rubbing your beads with some lemon juice on a tea towel. We find this to be a sure fire trick to bring back that shine!
