The composition is built from dozens of freely moving wooden beads attached to a round hand painted wooden base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clustered red beads bring to mind Nordic wild berries, especially cranberries gathered in late autumn forests. Aarikka often worked with simple natural materials, but pieces like this show a more playful and expressive side of Finnish design from the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe necklace has strong visual presence despite the lightweight construction. The vivid red colour stands out sharply against dark clothing and works equally well as a wearable object or part of a more collected Scandinavian jewellery look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant hangs on an adjustable cord with sliding wooden beads, allowing the length to be changed easily depending on styling and clothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandmade in Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrand: Aarikka Finland\u003cbr\u003ePeriod: 1970s to 1980s\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Wood\u003cbr\u003eColour: Red\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Hand-painted and hand assembled\u003cbr\u003eDiameter with hanging beads: 5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good vintage condition with light traces of age and use consistent with the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe freely moving wooden beads create shifting shadows and changing shapes while worn. From a distance the pendant appears almost floral or berry like, while closer viewing reveals the careful handmade construction and variation in the wooden surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece carries many qualities associated with classic Aarikka jewellery: natural materials, strong silhouette, tactile surfaces and movement integrated directly into the design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aarikka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53993788703061,"sku":null,"price":57.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/9383\/1253\/files\/Aarikka_Finland_Cranberry_red_wooden_pendant_beads_Molna_Vintage.jpg?v=1781645873","url":"https:\/\/www.molnavintage.com\/products\/aarikka-finland-wooden-pendant-with-cranberry-red-beads","provider":"Molna Vintage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
