Temptation

Description

This is my entry for the Etsy BeadWeavers February-March challenge - Temptation.

To learn more about the story this necklace, please visit my blog: http://mamma-foxan.blogspot.com

It will sit comfortably on any person who is size medium to small, with neck diameter of about 14.5 inches (37 cm) and smaller. Lizard measures 4.3'x3'(11x7.5 cm), the leave and dragonfly is 2.6'x2.8'(6.5x7 cm).

The details are embroidered with tiny seed beads (size 15/0). The dragonfly is a vintage brass stamping that is glued onto UltraSuede. The clasp is made of copper.

I have used Russian malachite cabs for the lizards back, and quality gemstones for the necklace itself. You will find serpentine, fluorite, quartz, amazonite, new jade and peridot, mixed with prime quality glass beads and Swarovski crystals.
