Viking-dress jewelry

by on Saturday, January 28th, 2012

This jewelry is also a result of the preparations for going to Medeltidsveckan in Visby this summer. As you might already have guessed, it is inspired by the strings of beads that was commonly worn together with viking style dresses and this jewelry is made of bronze colored metal details, mookaite and jaspis beads, and faceted glass beads.

I never used it myself since the color does not match either of the dresses I made, but I think that it looks pretty nice and I hope that I will manage to find a use for it some time int he future.

A large faceted square bead of moonstone is the center of this necklace. The moonstone bead is surrounded by round copper filigree beads, clear glass beads, and moonstone chips and the largest beads are in the middle and then they get smaller the further towards the ends of the necklace you get.
