Confessions Of A Modern Day Odalisque

Jewelry : Artisan : Necklaces

 
So inspired by the lush creations of Holly over @ Bijoux d'Odalisque :) she has totally reinforced my mantra that more is TRULY more! You rock, girl!

This is my interpretation - Confessions Of A Modern Day Odalisque.

Too-many-to-count Smooth Amethyst Rondelles, each individually wrapped and coiled with Copper wire, there are 4 per chain link and I must have used up at least 3.5 strands here. These lovely babies merrily flirt with Smooth Herringbone-Woven Kyanite Coins, Russian Charoite and Brazilian Kyanite Rondelles to form a decadent ring-a-round-o-rosey around the neck. Faceted Amethyst Rounds make an appearance here and there too.

The piece de resistance? An intricate wire-wrapped Pendant featuring crocheted loops, spruced up with teeny tiny 24K Gold Seed Beads, more Smooth Amethyst Rondelles and an opulent Smooth Caribbean Blue Chalcedony Teardrop.

Ooh la la.

Check out too the wire-wrapped charm dangling near the chain extension, it's very intricate, loads of basket-weaving, more 24K Gold Seed Beads and Smooth Amethyst Rondelles.

Thanks tons as well to Dawne for the luscious Smooth Kyanite Briolette! You're a gem!

~ About Odalisques ~

The word, Odalisque, appears in a French form, and originates from the Turkish odalk. Some writers spell the word as odahlic, odalisk, and odaliq. In popular use, the word odalisque also may refer to a mistress, concubine or paramour of a wealthy man. In Western culture during the 19th century, odalisques became common fantasy figures in the artistic movement known as Orientalism, being featured in many erotic paintings from that era.

Confessions Of A Modern Day Odalisque's pendant measures approximately 2" tall by 1.75" wide. Her Copper Linked Chains are adjustable from 18" to 22.5" and she secures with a Copper Lobster Claw Clasp.
