Designed by us and handcrafted in the studio between our Portland shops. We only create Beautiful Things Made by People who Care.™ Learn what makes us so special.

Does our love of adjustable jewelry mean we're control freaks? Maybe. But at least we're stylish control freaks, thanks to pieces like the Kanssa necklace. For the days you need a long necklace, leave the hand-spun rope all the way extended; for the days you want a shorter version, simply pull the ends to adjust to desired length. Yep, you're in complete control and you look darn good.

Materials: High quality Japanese thread, 100% cotton, spun into rope in our studio with a thick cast bronze modern semicircle, originally carved from wax. 

Made by hand in our Portland, Oregon studio.

Necklace measures approximately 35" at longest and is adjustable– go as short as you want to go by pulling the ropes on either side of the back of the necklace. Excess rope hangs beautifully down the back of the neck.

Buy with certainty. Learn about our Return Policy and Shipping details.

How We Grade Recast Jewelry

All Recast items are wonderfully wearable, but may show signs of previous use or repair. Fear not–there’s still plenty of life left in each and every Recast piece! Learn more here.

Great Condition

Jewelry may show minimal signs of wear, but will be free of tarnish and dents. Recast pieces in great condition will have their original shape, oxidization or paint.

Good Condition

Jewelry shows more noticeable signs of wear. Recast pieces in good condition may not be fully oxidized or painted. Pieces may show signs of tarnish, dents, or may be slightly misshapen.

Ethical Materials

Traceable, Recycled, and Conflict-free. And that's just the beginning.

Recast FAQs

We grade jewelry in three tiers: Scrap, Good, and Great. For items deemed Scrap, we issue a flat $2 credit per item and recycle the jewelry. Items graded as Good receive a 20% store credit, and items graded as Great receive a 40% store credit. Store credits are based on the retail value of the piece. Our grading decisions are final and when you send items into us, you are agreeing to accept the amount of credit that our grading process yields.
Bring it to us! As long as it's Betsy & Iya, we'll issue a store credit for every piece, either $2 for Scrap condition or 20% for Good condition. You’d be surprised what we can fix up, and if we can't fix it to our standards for resale, we'll recycle the metal and you’ll still get the $2 Scrap credit.
About a week and a half or so. After you request your Recast Buy Back kit, we’ll mail it to you. This takes 3-5 days (and sometimes less). Once you receive the kit, you’ll box everything up and send it back to us. We’ll usually receive your box within 3-5 days and issue your store credit 1-2 business days later.
We do not buy back jewelry in person due to the time our grading process takes. You are welcome to bring it into the store to save on shipping costs/time/emissions, but we will not be able to look at it while you wait. Otherwise, initiate your buy back by requesting a free Recast Buy Back kit and mailing your pieces to us.
Nope! Store credit is issued to a gift card, which never expires, can be used across multiple purchases, and is linked to your email so it will never get lost.
No. If you are interested in cash, you may have luck with a traditional consignment shop.
Most of our items have a maker’s mark stamped somewhere on them. For necklaces, look for a brass or silver tag. For earrings or necklaces without tags, examine the focal pieces. We’ll typically stamp the side of the piece that faces your body when it’s being worn. For rings and bracelets, check the inside surface. If you’re unsure, feel free to send photos to support {at} betsyandiya.com and we’ll be happy to let you know.
