Dragonfire Cameo Necklace Sculpture

Be the center of attention when you wear this vivid statement necklace in red, gold, pale blue, and bronze glass beads! A vintage red and gold glass cameo is backed in black leather, framed in a woven beadwork bezel, and suspended at the center of four supple Right Angle Weave chains in bronze and iridescent red seed beads. Below the cameo, a lower dichroic glass cabochon adds bright blue-green accents. Luster-finished round glass beads (repurposed from an old Avon design) stud the second-lowest chain, while ruby-red glass navette beads fringe the outermost beaded chain. Topmost chain (nearest the neck) hangs at about 20”, while the outer chain is about 30” long. The back of the necklace is equally elaborate, with a hand-beaded toggle clasp, a square beadwoven loop, and wide Gourd-stitch finials gathering the four chains. When I finished this piece in 2017, one friend promptly christened it ‘The Dragonfire Cameo’, while another said it looked like an Art Nouveau designer got a look at Tony Stark’s favorite colors. It’s not for the faint-of-heart, but its red-gold glow can add a powerful statement to any outfit from a peasant shirt to a little black dress. This necklace will be shipped in a padded box to prevent breakage in transit.
