A chic appearance and a striking piece of jewellery can emphasize the beauty of the wearer, as well as adding a sense of lightness to life. An item of jewellery that lends itself particularly well to electronic enhancement is a traditional African necklace, which comprises an array of vertical rods, artistically arranged, suspended from a string around the neck. These rods may be made of various traditional materials, including wood, ivory, tortoiseshell, or stone.

This project unveils a 21st-Century version of this necklace, which, instead of using rods of wood or other customary materials, employs sixteen sparkling clear cast acrylic rods. These are accompanied by a compact circuit, which darts all colors of light down the length of the rods, at random.
