Boffo Beads
Outrageous, one of a kind, and limited edition hand-wired beaded necklaces.

“I just want to say one word to you. Just one word…plastics.” – The Graduate, 1967

Plastic has a varied reputation: annoying to environmentalists for its proliferation in the landscape, yet invaluable in such diverse areas as medicine, industrial design, and outer space exploration. Plastic has also had an impact on the decorative arts, as in: the Eames molded chair, swatch watch, and vintage bakelite jewelry. The variety of shapes, colors, and textures in plastics can hardly be rivaled by nature. And, in these extravagantly scaled Boffo Beads necklaces, plastic’s light weight is an important consideration in making them wearable. "The vintage plastic beads used in my necklaces have been collected over time, and many of these beads will never be seen again. Their whimsical quality, and their synergy when combined into my original designs are a continuous source of inspiration."
