The Mother Mary Collar is a one-of-one piece that sits at the intersection of devotion and adornment—delicate in form, yet grounded in meaning.
Hand-assembled in Japan, circa 1950s–early 1960s, the collar reflects a period when Japanese artisans became known for exporting finely detailed beaded accessories to Western markets. Crafted from glass seed beads and softly luminous pearls, it forms a scalloped silhouette that rests closely along the neckline. Its texture is intricate and tactile, with a quiet weight that gives it presence without heaviness—each bead contributing to a surface that feels both ornamental and intimate.
At the center, a small Mary charm is hand-sewn into the piece—subtle, but anchoring. It introduces a sense of protection and reverence, transforming the collar into something more than decorative. It feels inherited, like an object that carries quiet significance rather than overt statement.
Designed to be worn with both ease and intention, it elevates even the most casual garments—bringing softness, history, and a sense of ritual to the everyday.
Available exclusively at Wrong Marfa Store until sold.
