Each Vignette kumihimo necklace kit features a stunning hand-painted ceramic focal bead from our favorite European ceramic artist. Each focal bead is a tiny work of art and one page in a story that you get to continue.  Following along with the detailed written instructions and accompanying demo video, you'll transform the focal bead into a stunning pendant!

The Vignette beaded kumihimo necklace features a sophisticated two color ombré with metallic accents to coordinate with the pendant. Although the necklace is mostly made of size 8/0 seed beads, the very center uses size 11/0s. This central detail of smaller metallic seed beads both draws your eyes to the pendant and helps keep the pendant centered on the braid.

These kits are suitable for braiders of all levels, but if you're a beginner please consult the Beaded Kumihimo Starter Guide and Understanding the Braid before you begin your project. These are both free PDFs on our website. You can also watch our Beaded Kumihimo Quick Start Guide on our YouTube channel.
