Vera Wang Lavender Line Hand Beaded Bow Necklace
Happy New Year to one and all!
We are very excited about 2010 in terms of costume jewelry. So many people are "discovering" it for the very first time thanks to several articles on the subject this past year and because there are so many true artists up and coming or emerging. Many have already made their marks.
Naturally, Iradj Moini would fit into the made their mark category, while Atlanta's Mark Edge would be one to watch.
Vera Wang is already a known name; however she is most known for her fabulous wedding attire. She has over the years created accessories, perfume, home fashions and jewelry.
Like many clothing designers before her, the age old problem of what to accessories your creations with inevitably arises, if you are an
exacting artist. Sometimes you search and find acceptable accessories, sometimes
acceptable is not good enough. There are those times when you do not find anything that will do your creation justice, so you create your own. I do not know for certain what Ms. Wang's motivation was when she began designing jewelry, however
I would not be surprised to find out that it was!

This amazing necklace or rather collar is from Ms. Wang's street chic "Lavender Line".
The line includes clothing and accessories with a youth oriented attitude.
The backing for the hand sewn glass beads is delicate lace in black. You might think this would be a heavy piece with all those beads, however when worn it is quite comfortable and not at all cumbersome. The black ribbon allows the wearer to vary the length.
I can see this as a dramatic collar for a strapless dress or as a statement
making accessory under a crisp white shirt. It is the type of necklace that
could be worn with most anything, but prepare to be noticed!
