Beautiful Scottish/Celtic Medieval Bead-Woven Ruffel Collar By Gay Huntley 2013

Description: Scottish/Celtic-themed Beadwoven Ruffel Collar with Bronze Birds Clasp and Medieval Design made by Gay Huntley and purchased on Etsy in 2013. Sadly, Ms. Huntley has died recently so her beautiful handwork will be limited to what she had made; I am so happy to have owned this lovely necklace. Description from the artist: “At the Scottish Games, where I show my work, ladies of larger proportions often want pieces to fit them. I stitch necklaces and bracelets for all of us goddesses. I found this incredable cast bronze Celtic/Viking clasp (designed and cast by Crafty Celts) at the Scottish Games and invisioned this collar. The neck band is stitched in Peyote stitch in a bronze and brown check pattern. The ruffled collar geometric design was worked out on graph paper and is also stitched in Peyote stitch in olive, brick red, bronze and brown beads. There are bronze teardrop beads at the point of each triangle tip along the outer edge of the collar. This collar was designed to be worn close to the neck and measures 19" including the cast bronze clasp. The ruffel and neck band measure 2 1/4" deep. This is an amazingly beautiful and unique collar and would be a wonderful costume addition. Materials: bronze cast clasp, Japanese seed beads, graph paper, needle, thread, teardrop beads. This amazing and colorful ruffeled collar was inspired by the beautiful beadwork from Celtic tradition. The tartan neck band is stitched in Herringbone stitch and the ruffel is stitched in Peyote stitch and is woven into the neck band. The clasp is a beaded bead and loop design worked in the design pattern of the ruffel. This is a wonderful piece to wear, very comfortable and of a unique design.
