This rolo chain necklace has a gray Mooonstone center that is threaded on C-Lon Beading Thread. The thread makes this center incredibly flexible - the beaded part of the necklace moves in the same way the chain does. Using a material other than thread causes a short strand of beads, like this one, to maintain a curved shape. Through trial & error we have found C-Lon Thread to be the strongest, highest quality, & most malleable material - perfect for this necklace design!
When her husband became King of Afghanistan in 1926, Queen Soraya Tarzi stood against social norms and tradition by imploring her husband to dissolve his royal harem and free the enslaved women therein. This was only the first of many social reforms Queen Soraya implemented during her reign, including founding the first women’s organization in the country, as well as advocating for unveiling as well as the education of girls throughout cities and rural Afghanistan.
