| This is a very versatile lariat style necklace that I designed using some gorgeous vintage glass seed beads in a soft, mint green. These are not your run of the mill round seed beads! These little beauties are cut glass, probably Czech. They really catch the light and sparkle! To accent these beads, I have used some genuine Aquamarine beads and vintage glass & glass seed beads in a rainbow of colors. The focal bead is a gorgeous vintage Venetian art glass bead in green, with pink roses and blue, gold, yellow & white accents. There are four strands in this necklace, with the longest measuring just over 34 inches long. I used multi strand nylon coated wire for strength and durability. You can wear this in a multitude of styles. You can wrap it a few times around your neck for a choker length, or leave it long and "flapper" like, with the focal bead either high or low in the front. You can also wrap it once around your neck, with the focal bead close to your neck and the long ends dangling down to your waist. You can wrap two strands around one side of your neck, two strands around the other, and bring the ends through the loop by the focal bead, again, placing the focal bead high or low in the front. You can also let the ends hang down your back - the perfect piece for dress with a low back. This piece could also be wrapped around your waist as a belt. The possibilities are endless, and whichever way you wear it you will be sure to garner attention! |
