Lots of color and texture in this mixed media necklace of mine: Blues, Turquoise, Greens, spot of red and creamy mother of pearl
The pendant is one of my vintage Mother of Pearl pieces that reminded me of a Sailor's Valentine. It has a wonderful glow that I think only comes from vintage mother of pearl. It's about 2.5 inches long.
I've taken variegated ribbon and knotted gorgeous boro glass teardrops up one side and artisan lampwork by Meital and Canyon Echoes up the other. The enameled bead was torch enameled by moi!
Opalized glass seed beads and two vintage milk glass buttons finish off the back. There's no clasp, as it is 24 inches and will slip over your head.
I added another vintage button the front of the pendant as a mooring buoy that highlights the boating theme.
Love the sea? boating? or just the colors... this one of a kind necklace will be a joy to wear and gain you compliments.
This one of a kind necklace was inspired by an Art Bead Scene challenge that you can read about in this blog post. Check it out, because there are additional photos of the necklace.
