The Duchess

Just listed to day at "CindyCaraway" is The Duchess. Inspired by the beautiful jewelry worn by Keira Knightly in the film of the same name, this pretty piece is meant to be worn fairly high on the neck, almost choker style. The Duchess is fashioned using brick stitch. Seed beads in shades of gray and silver are combined with mother of pearl beads, iridescent pearls and white stone beads with lovely gray veining throughout. The stone cabochons are cradled within peyote bezels and backed with soft suede leather.
