I took a pretty jade green natural gemstone oval bead and mounted it on stiffened fabric, then hand worked bead embroidery around it in shades of green and pink. Then I added a soft fringe of pearl beads.
I added a 1" silver tone brooch pin with a secure rollover clasp and finished the back with soft tan ultrasuede.
The finished item is a delightful oval brooch measuring approximately 5cm high x 4cm wide.
It has an almost Victorian appearance.
Please note the central gemstone is a natural gemstone and has a few striations in the colouring which are naturally occuring.
