Lilypads - Moss Agate Beadwoven Necklace
Lilypads - Moss Agate Beadwoven Necklace
The necklace begins with a beautiful specimen of lilypads on the pond Moss Agate. What do you see & sense in this dramatic stone?
A lovingly bead-woven chevron secures the stone betwixt your collarbones/ between the throat and heart chakras. The necklace is a bead-woven rope of a zillion (give or take) itty bitty seed beads, embellished with bronze freshwater keshi pearls and white freshwater pearls.
All this wonder fastens at your nape courtesy of a flower & dragonfly motif vintage perfume button*.
rope necklace: 18 inches
amazonite pendant: 1 1/2 x 2 inches
The pendant is removable so that you may consider wearing it on another necklace, neck-ring or thin silk scarf.
Perhaps you’ll wear the beaded rope sans pendant. Choices, versatility. and strength of spirit are yours my friend xö
*Perfume buttons usually consisted of a small scrap of velvet overlaid with decorative pierced brass. During the Civil War, a woman would stitch one of these perfumed buttons under her man’s uniform collar, so that far from home and in the midst of great danger, he would be comforted by the familiar fragrance of his beloved. (Perfume buttons were also worn by women generally in those days because the perfumes of the Victorian Era were oil-based and therefore easily stained clothing. Perfume buttons not only eliminated this risk, but also lent staying power to a dab of perfume).
