Cranberry Glass and Swarovski Crystal Scroll Necklace

I made this beautiful necklace with a piece of cranberry glass as the centre feature.


I cut it in the shape of a triangle and copper foiled the edge and attached it to the neckwire. I placed 2 large scrolls on the outer side at the narrowest point and placed a double scroll on the centre base. Then I placed a scroll on the glass itself and a scroll either side of the top. There is a golden shadow large pear at the base of the glass and suspended a large pear piece of red faceted glass. On the double scroll I suspended 2 medium siam pear drops and on the outer scrolls. I attached navettes, rounds, pears in the colours of siam & fuchsia. The length of the necklace from the top to the tip of the glass drop is 15 cm long and the width at the widest point is 13 cm.



The necklace is a one-off and my original design. It is prong set and soldered by hand with a thick gold plating. It has a scroll at the back with crystals attached. It has an adjuster chain to fit all sizes. The neckwire is flexible and can be widened or narrowed for a close fit.
