The Duchess

This beautiful one of a kind piece was inspired by the jewelry from the movie "The Duchess" It is actually a fusion of her wedding necklace and her beautiful cameo brooch and is part of the Etsy Wire Artisans Guild Challenge for May, themed "Royal Wedding".

This particular piece is made from bronze coated copper wire. The medallion which is woven with 2mm copper beads, 4mm bronze freshwater pearls,3mm cream freshwater pearls, forms a burnt citrine flower "cameo" in the center. It also has 2 faceted briolette peridots an 2 faceted briolette lemon quartz forming the leaves.

It has 3 cascades dripping down with freshwater pearl and burnt citrine and 3 huge 12-14mm freshwater pearl "drop" pearls. One on the center cascade off the medallion and one between the freshwater pearl chain tiers on each side of the neck.

 

The best thing of all about this necklace is that it has a hook closure and is adjustable up to a 19" neckline.
