Floral Ba-Gua Octagon Necklace

The medallions on this necklace are Ba-Gua Octagons; they are one of the tools used in Feng Shui.

This necklace is crocheted from greenish-brown yarn that's 50% wool and 50% hemp, strung with lots of glass, ceramic, wood, plastic, and metal beads. The significant parts to this necklace are three ceramic beads with a floral design on one side and Asian script on the other and two copper Ba-Gua Octagons with a different design on each side (the photos show both sides).

The entire necklace is about 39" (99.1 cm) long (including extra cord to tie with where it isn't crocheted), but the crocheted, thicker part is about 25" (63.5 cm) and the beaded part is 7" (17.8 cm). You tie the necklace in the back, so it can fit any size neck, and can be worn tighter or looser.

It can also be worn as an anklet!

My friend gave me the idea for the name for this necklace- I had no idea the discs had significance.

It can be found here in my Etsy shop.

I made this necklace months ago (during the summer) but forgot to upload it. Oops!
