This brooch is a distillation of finesse, elegance and luxury. Very rare and astonishing materials and the finest workmanship make this piece of art absolutely unique and unbelievably beautiful. To create this brooch, I used the smallest natural pearls which you could imagine – less than 1 mm in diameter, larger pearls, antique glass beads sizes 18-24, very small silver beads and Czech glass micro cuts. The flower was netted on the silver base, which allows to turn this brooch into the pendant for a necklace by sliding the necklace through a special slot made from silver, a very easy and fast procedure.
This necklace was made by motif of P.Bajov’s fairy-tale “The Stone Flower.” I wanted to express the attraction and intangibility of the mythical stone flower, whose living beauty was impossible for Danila, the rock-carving master, to make out of malachite. In my necklace you can see the Malachite flower, turning into the difficult to catch butterfly…
This necklace was created using my own techniques “Micro-bead netting in embroidery”. Work on this project of beading art took over 100 hours.
Materials, used in this necklace: malachite cabochons and beads, Japanese beads size 11, 15, antique Italian micro beads sizes 18, 20, 24; gold-plated charlottes, black-greenish pearls, Czech micro cuts, Swarovski crystal beads, Onyx beads, gold -filled findings.
I used different shaped pearls to form geometric shapes with coral and “Cat’s Eye” accents. A magnificent design for any “Black Tie” night! Unique luxurious asymmetric necklace whose geometrical figures attract an eye with delicate shine of real ocean pearls. Accented with coral and “Cat’s Eye” stone beads as well as pieces of rock crystal add the feeling of purity and freshnessto this masterpiece. The nobleness of the necklace shows up in every detail, from beautiful big pearls 0.7 cm in diameter to Japanese micro beads and silver clasp.
