Treasures of the deep is a hand bead embroidered collar.
The ocean is ever changing, from green to blue to the different shades of sand. Animals roam everywhere free to do as they please. I can only imagine the amazing things that sailors see when they are out on the open sea.
A metal patina seahorse is the focal and is surrounded by thousands of seed beads. Swarovski crystals to mimic the sparkle of the ocean and 3 different sizes and colours of Swarovski pearls.
With the fringe I was trying to capture that change from dark blue, deep sea, all the way to the sandy beaches, with drops of water splashing on the shores.
It does up with a plain parrot clasp so as not to take ANY attention away from this collar.
45 1/2 cms (17 3/4 inch) around, it sits perfectly just below the collar bone.
The centre is 8cm(just over 3 inches) wide and the luscious fringe adds another 7 1/2 cm (just under 3 inches)
It has been backed with super soft white ultrasuede. I use fireline braided thread in all my work.
Thanks for looking
