Cosmic Peacock lariat

Description

An 'eye' catching peacock themed necklace!

This is the original necklace as featured in the October/November 2009 issue of Beadwork magazine.

This beautiful and unusual necklace is comprised of a single thin 40 inch beaded rope with a tear-drop shaped 'eye' at either end. It can be worn in a number of ways and curves sinuously round the neck.

This piece is made entirely from thousands of tiny cylinder beads and has been designed and woven by me - it took many, many hours to complete. The rope uses gently twisting herringbone stitch and the 'eyes' are made using a combination of various stitches. Each 'eye' has a Swarovski Cosmic Ring and a vintage lapis lazuli bead at its centre.

I have used only three colours of cylinder beads in this piece, 24k lined cream opal, transparent green AB and semi-matte silver lined medium blue - all of which add up to a deceptively simple and elegant piece.

Each 'eye' measures approximately 1¾" from top to bottom and the entire piece measures 43½" from end to end.

If you would like any more details, just contact me. Matching earrings can be made, please see my sold page for an image of the design.

Release your inner peacock and adorn yourself with this graceful lariat - you will be sure to turn heads wherever you go!
