Definitely need to have an up-do hairstyle when wearing this piece. The bead work and clasp in the back are just as impressive as the front.

What a stunning piece!!! WOW! I would love to see this on someone's neck just to get an idea of what it looks like when worn.

do you glue the focal stones down first, then do the embroidery stitch around them? Also is the sued clothe stiff enough to hold the design. I love this technique and I really want to learn it. You did such a great job!

yes but thay are gludes to a stiff backing first then when all the beading is finished the suadecloth is added and the fringe is added last
