The Edwardian Necklace - Time Machine April EBW Challenge

Description

"An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome." - William Manchester

I have set the dial on my Time Machine and traveled to the Edwardian period of history. "The Gilded Age" of which the likes we will never see again. A time when women were breaking free of the bondages imposed by the Victorian era and the dream of equality was beginning to take shape. Czar Nicholas and his family met their tragic end, Titantic was the ship of dreams and H. G. Wells wrote books of fantastic machines that would transport you to another time and place.

The Edwardian necklace is my interpretation of the EBW street team's April challenge of "Time Machine". Embodying the opulence of the period, this necklace features a pendant of a brass clock face that has been encased in rows and curves of bead embroidery. An elegant brass stamping along with two teardrop cabochons of green aventurine and a round cabochon of brecciated jasper complete the pendant.

The pendant is hung a chain of antiqued brass plated metal. I have created right angle woven beaded beads in colors complimentary to the pendant and they accent the chain. The necklace closes with an antiqued brass lobster clasp and extender chain.

Pendant measures 3 3/4" long and 2" wide. Back is finished with faux leather fabric. Necklace measures approximately 24" long. The length of this piece can be adjusted upon request at no additional charge.
