Enchanted Forest

Enchanted Forest, Mixed Media Collar, Beaded and Stitched by Hand

Status: Available in my Etsy Shop

I hand-stitched this collar with strong, archival quality bead thread, which makes this an heirloom-quality piece of jewellery. No glue guns here!

Adjustable to any neck size.

The collar features an image of a magical hare (printed on an aluminium base) surrounded with a peyote-stitch beaded bezel. Surrounding the hare, you will find an eclectic mix of embroidery, glass beads, and stones, including an Czech glass dragonfly.

The seed beads are Japanese glass seed beads.

The body of the collar is 5.5 inches wide (at its widest point) and 7 inches long (at its longest point, including fringe).

The bead and crystal fringe swings freely and has been securely hand-stitched to the faux suede backing.

The cord is made from cork from Portugal, has a cotton inner core and cotton thread, and is totally vegan. It feels and looks remarkably like leather and is strong and water resistant. The cord is 14 inches (35.5cm) long, plus a 5-inch (13cm) stainless steel extension chain.

The lobster clasp is lead-free and nickel-free.

The black backing is faux suede.
