Azul Tide Heirloom Necklace
One of a Kind • Handmade in Baja California Sur
Inspired by the shifting colors of the Sea of Cortez, the Azul Tide Heirloom Necklace is composed entirely of individually handcrafted lampwork glass beads created by artist and author Jenelle Aubade.
A soothing gradient of white, aqua, teal, and rich lapis blue flows throughout the strand, capturing the transition from sunlit shallows to deeper ocean waters. Each bead is formed in the flame using premium Italian glass, then carefully finished to a silky matte texture reminiscent of weathered sea glass polished by years of waves and salt air.
At its center rests a softly organic 12mm focal bead accented with delicate touches of fine .999 silver. The entire necklace is finished in matte, creating a harmonious and tactile design that feels both elegant and effortlessly natural. No two beads are ever exactly alike, making each necklace a true one-of-a-kind work of wearable art.
Beyond its visual beauty, this necklace was designed to be handled and enjoyed. The smooth organic shapes and varied textures make it equally suited as a meditation, prayer, or worry necklace—something to wear, touch, and connect with throughout the day.
Wear it alone as a statement piece, layer it with other strands for an effortless bohemian look, wrap longer lengths as a bracelet, or even use it as an artistic hatband. Designed for everyday wear yet elegant enough for special occasions, it transitions beautifully from beachside afternoons to evening gatherings under the Baja stars.
A favorite choice for destination weddings, anniversaries, and meaningful life celebrations, each necklace becomes a personal keepsake carrying memories of Baja California Sur long after the journey home.

Care
Like fine pearls, hand-knotted necklaces should be stored flat in a jewelry box, pouch, or drawer when not in use. The natural hemp cord is exceptionally strong but may gradually stretch with years of regular wear.
A professional re-knotting service is available for $50 USD and is typically only needed every 3–5 years for frequently worn pieces.
