Garland Of Roses Necklace | Silver Lace Bridal Collar With Pink Pearls
Lush swags of pink freshwater pearls, crystals, and tiny handmade lace roses and leaves festoon this utterly romantic bridal necklace. All of the lace is entirely hand-crafted in our studio using a signature blend of lacemaking, crochet and couture bead embroidery techniques. The motifs are hand-embroidered with dozens of vintage seed beads and rhinestones--all over 50 years old--as well as naturally pink freshwater pearls. The lace swags taper into a hand-wired chain of large, pink freshwater pearls. All findings are sterling silver. Matching Garland of Roses earrings are available separately. Adjustable chain is 15"(38.1cm)-17"(43.2cm) long. Embellishment: 6.75"(17.1cm) x 1"(2.5cm)

THE ROMANCE OF HANDCRAFTED LACE
For centuries, handmade lace was one of the most precious parts of a bride's wedding day look. Gowns, veils, and other pieces of the bridal trousseau were adorned with lace that required days, or even months, of meticulous craftsmanship to create. Edera updates this tradition for the modern bride, with a collection of romantic jewelry and accessories that showcases intricate lace motifs. Designer Ivy Long handcrafts the collection in her Vermont, USA studio using old-world lacemaking and needlework techniques and heirloom-quality materials.
COUTURE LACEMAKING TECHNIQUES
Each design starts with one of designer Ivy Long's original lace patterns and spools of the finest silk, real metal, or metallic foil threads. Ivy weaves the intricate lace motifs with a small crochet hook, then embroiders the lace with a mix of vintage crystals and glass beads, freshwater pearls, and Swarovski crystals.
HEIRLOOM-QUALITY MATERIALS
The lace is created with either pure silk, real metal, or metallic foil threads. Real metal threads are wrapped in a fine metal sheet containing amounts of gold or silver, and are nearly identical to those used in the rich embroidery and laces of the Renaissance and Rococo eras. The metallic foil threads are used in traditional Japanese embroidery and contain .999 silver and 18k gold in the foil. All designs are finished with sterling silver or 14k gold-filled findings.
