I made this necklace a while ago, but like some of my more elaborate pieces, I had never worn it. Last week, however, we had a fund raising function on one evening after work, and I wanted to promote an event (Art Under the Microscope: Art and Artisan Jewellery Exhibition and Sale) which we're planning to hold in early April next year, so I decided to wear it. I teamed it with a plain black dress, and it looked quite stunning on. Must admit I wasn't used to wearing such a big piece and was feeling a little self conscious, LOL. Anyhow, the function went well, and the necklace had served its function well and attracted lots of attention and comments. I was a bit chuffed really. Technically this is not a difficult piece to do, but I'm quite pleased with the design and colour scheme, and it wears well. It reminds me of the old Russian royals, a princess maybe? The piece is quite sparkly in real life because of all the Swarovski crystals.
No wonder you felt like a princess with that necklace on Caroline - another real beauty (not just the necklace luv). Those dark colours in the cabs look very rich and lush, I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your lovely comments, Nat. Yes those cabs are really gorgeous. I used them together with the Swaros to create the effect of sapphire, emerald and ruby, which I would've loved to use but of course could not afford. :) I think they are sodalite.
