Opulence
|
|
|
|
The Opulence Tiara was a finalist in a competition run by 'Crystalized Swarovski
Elements' and 'E-Beads' The brief was to create a jewellery, home or
fashion design object with a theme....
'Inspired by Renaissance influences with a softened modern appeal
the competition theme 'Boudoir Beautiful' is the prevailing fashion
theme of 2010. Use pearls, bows and lace, filigree and
raw silks to weave around beautiful pendants or work around
fancy stones in a shimmering range
of hues with powerful dark contrasts to make stunning designs.
Release your renaissance goddess!'
The resulting design is an extremely feminine tiara resembling a bouquet
with winding gold and filigree wire and Swarovski
Aurora Borealis crystal ribbons wrapped around
hand-woven crystal flowers in an array of gradually deepening
pinks with a gold pearl centre. The buds are created using glass seed beads
and the leaves and sepals are again woven in Swarovski crystals from
emerald to chrysolite. The whole is set against a background of black
lace leaves trimmed in gold with a couple of Baroque crystals
to add accent and glamour!

Lacewing Butterfly
|
|
|
|
The Lacewing Butterfly is a hairpiece designed to 'rest' on the back of the head...
maybe adorning an elegant chignon? The gold-plated wings are intricately
adorned with a filigree pattern, interspersed with sparkling Aurora Borealis
Swarovski crystals and ending in gold coloured pearls.
The length (of the butterfly) is approximately 7" (18cm) this extends
a little to allow the comb and 'tail' to be pinned in place.
The wingspan is also about 7" (18cm) at the widest point.
This piece may also be mounted onto a headband to wear to the side, please contact
me to discuss other options.

Tigerlily
|
|
|
|
Tigerlily is my most labour intensive Tiara (in excess of 24 hrs) as every petal
and leaf is hand beaded using golden rocailles, Swarovski emerald
and erinite crystals are woven into the leaves and fire opal
and jet AB for the characteristic 'dots'
into the petals. The circlet sits approximately
2" ( 5cm) above and below the band. Please be aware that is a little
heavier than average...due to all of the beading involved.
May be fitted with combs or (more securely)
onto a headband which your hairdresser
should be able to disguise.
Price on application.
