A unique spit which adjoins the ancient headland of Hengistbury Head and forms a natural barrier between the harbour and the open sea.
"Wave Hill is a 28-acre estate in the Hudson Hill section of Riverdale, The Bronx, in New York City. Wave Hill currently consists of public horticultural gardens and a cultural center, all situated on the slopes overlooking the Hudson River, with expansive views across the river to the New Jersey Palisades. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the estate includes two houses and a botanical garden. The oldest part of the main house, Wave Hill House, dates back to 1843; Glyndor House dates from 1927 and contains a multi-room art gallery. Perkins Visitor Center, which was originally a garage, contains a gift shop and an information desk."
Crescent Lace original designs are based on the Japanese style of chain maille weave. Wave Lace has three graduated sizes of rings flowing along the edge to create the illusion of waves.
Wave Lace is crafted from a total of five sizes of rings in an intricately engineered weave. The largest rings are 7mm in diameter, and the smallest rings are 3mm. The earrings are 1-1/4 inches (3 cm) long; the length of the earring from the top of the earwire is 1-3/8 inches (4 cm). Made of sterling silver with Bali sterling ear wires.
