Rococo Medallion
I indulged my love for intricate and ornate jewelry in the creation of this unique pendant. Both beadweaving and bead embroidery techniques were used in this piece. The center is a pressed glass button from Czechoslovakia. It is green with an iridescent finish and has a raised floral motif. The button is held in place by a peyote stitch bezel made of 24 K gold plated delicas. Then rows of green, gold and gunmetal beads surround the center out to a final edging of clear rocailles with a gold foil lining that are used in a picot edging. The base of the piece is wool felt and a stiff interface material. These are then backed with soft tan sueded leather. The bail is made of black delicas in square stitch.
Only nymo thread was used in the piece, and the price includes a silky cord necklace in black with a silver plated lobster hook closure that measures 16 inches. This piece was constructed with care and due to the leather and felt base should never be worn when bathing.
Dimensions: the medallion is 1.75 inches (44.5 mm) in diameter with the bail extending .25 inches (6.3 mm) from the top. The cord necklace is 16 inches (406.4 mm). (Please note that the pendant can be removed from the cord necklace.)
