This beautiful and unique one-of-a-kind necklace was made to go with a vintage alligator purse I hand painted. If you like what you see, I can make one for you -either similar to the one shown or in colors to suit your own personal taste. The centerpiece of the necklace is done on a "canvas" of black matte triangle beads in a flat. freeform Peyote stitch. But OH(!) the surprises in the "canvas". The vibrant pieces of Dichroic glass add a lot of subdued sparkle, whimsical color and depth. The iridescent blue fw pearls just look great against the black matte beads . . .so I HAD to add them! The shiny gold triangle beads break up the monotony of the black- as do the many other colors of semi-precious beads and seed beads I used.

More details:
And let's not forget the Swarovsky crystal! The few pieces I put in add just the right amount of shimmer! The "chain" is made up of six strands of coordinated bugle and seed beads. That is six strands per side! Each side was twisted and attached to a beautiful sterling silver clasp. HOWEVER(!), you can untwist the strands and wear them loose for a different look! This is a great necklace for just about any mode of dress- from blue jeans to that "little black dress". I am including a picture of the front of the alligator purse that I hand painted so you can see an example of the other "wearable art" I do, and how I can coordinate accessories. What you cannot see in the picture of the purse is the dimension that it has. The fur is actually "carved out" using one medium so it looks real. The nose is made with a light holding medium so not only does it pop off the tiger's face, it looks and feels very real! The jungle brush is done using another process- making layers so the tiger looks like it is actually nestled in the cool, thick grass and leaves of the jungle. And you can actually spill something on the purse, wipe it clean with a damp cloth . . .and pat it dry with a soft cloth. All thanks to my 25 layers of "secret" glaze! These purses can be made to order- and there is a 90 day wait period because the work is so involved. This purse sold for $1.200.00 last year, but prices vary as do shipping details.
