I had been busy with a new job recently which kept me away from my sparklies.
However, the sparkle time is back now. So here is a photo of my latest commissioned tiara.
A very excited customer is going to be a bridesmaid for her sister in November. We had a few consultations and I took a few ready made tiaras and headbands over for her to look at <make excited noises over>
The bridesmaid dress is chocolate brown and dusky pink. My client wanted more pearls than crystals in the main part of the tiara but also wanted plenty of sparkle. Hence the double band of Swarovski crystals on the band. We choose a combination of cream, powder almond and dusky pink Swarovski crystal pearls. The copper wire added warmth to the overall piece and complimented all the pearls and crystals.
There is always pressure when making a piece for someone as opposed to making an 'off-the-shelf' item as there is a bigger expectation. So imagine my delight when I received the best possible compliment:
'Wow, this is even better than I could ever have imagined'
Here is a picture, I would love to know what you think.
Thanks,
