Duyssen Necklace Magazine Beads, Abalone Discs, and Gold Pony Beads

The necklace has a playful, artistic feel—full of color, texture, and a sense of spontaneity.

The main strand is composed of oval-shaped magazine beads, each one handmade from rolled paper, giving them a slightly irregular shape and a patchwork of printed colors. Bits of text, images, and bold graphics peek through their glossy finish, so every bead feels like a tiny collage. The overall effect is lively and ever-changing, with no two sections quite the same.

Between these beads are thin abalone disc spacers, adding flashes of natural iridescence. Their surfaces shimmer with shifting tones of green, blue, and violet, catching the light in a way that contrasts beautifully with the matte-to-glossy texture of the paper beads. They lend a hint of oceanic elegance to the otherwise eclectic design.

Scattered throughout the strand are small gold pony beads, placed at random intervals. Their metallic shine pops against the colorful magazine beads, creating little moments of brightness that feel almost like sparks. Because they’re not evenly spaced, they add to the necklace’s sense of movement and unpredictability.

Altogether, the piece feels creative and free-spirited—a mix of recycled artistry, natural shimmer, and warm metallic accents that come together in a design that’s both expressive and one-of-a-kind.

Necklace is 17" in length
