Rainbow Illusion Pride Kumihimo Necklace | Handmade Beaded Jewelry

The Rainbow Illusion Pride Kumihimo Necklace brings a sleek, masculine-friendly edge to rainbow-inspired jewelry. Designed as a 24-inch handmade beaded necklace, this piece pairs glossy black glass seed beads with vivid rainbow accents for a bold look that feels colorful, meaningful, and refined without being overly bright.

The rainbow sections are woven into the braid in a way that creates movement and visual depth, giving the necklace a subtle hidden-rainbow effect from some angles and a more vibrant reveal from others. The result is a statement piece that feels modern, wearable, and intentionally designed for everyday self-expression.

Created as part of the One Spectrum Pride Collection, Rainbow Illusion celebrates identity, individuality, and personal expression in a design that works year-round—not just during Pride Month.

Each necklace is carefully hand-braided using the traditional Japanese art of Kumihimo. The dimensional rope-style construction gives the necklace a smooth, substantial feel while remaining flexible and comfortable to wear.

At approximately 24 inches in total finished length, this necklace is designed with a longer men’s/unisex fit. On an average male build, it is intended to rest approximately 1 inch below the clavicle. Fit will vary depending on neck size, body build, and personal preference; on smaller builds or many women, the necklace may sit lower.

Shown with a glossy black beaded background. A white beaded background may also be available for a brighter, lighter look. Please contact me before ordering to confirm availability and request your preferred background color.
