Before the storm is a hand bead embroidered Necklace that took me around 35 hours to complete.
Made in 3 pieces and the joined together it is 52cm (20.5 inches) long and the focal is 7cm (2 3/4 inch) long. It sits just under my collar bone.
WIth three gorgeous dichroic glass cabochons as focal beads and then 22 emerald Swarovski flat back crystals the colours reminded me of the sky before we get a large storm. You can feel the anticipation in the air.
This does up with an 18 karat gold plated clasp and jump ring.
It was beaded on a purple background which enhances the gorgeous blue and green seed beads and is backed with black Ultra suede for maximum comfort.
I only use braided fireline in my bead work.
Thanks for looking
