"Vibrant colours, great for smart casual occasions"





Sumalee has a great eye for mixing and matching colours in her eco-friendly jewelry range. This necklace is very versatile; it is light on the neck, and the mix of colours means you can pair it up or down, either with a cardigan or shawl in one of the primary colours of the necklace. I usually wear it against a darker-hued basic colour like black or navy. Received compliments every time I wear this necklace, and will be looking for other colour combinations from Sumalees range!

"Beautiful and well crafted!"





This necklace was even better than I expected. The wood beads make it light weight, and the colors will go with anything in your wardrobe! My day was truly made when I opened the package, saw the beautiful colors and tried it on. Perfect for a dull grey winter day!

Purchased as a gift and it is hard to let it go! The colour is wonderful and it has a nice presence without being bulky or heavy. Might need to treat myself as well. Can be used as a bohemian piece or used as a elegant piece while dressed up. Very versatile.
