A Victorian style passementerie motif, mounted onto a black velvet
ribbon choker.
This is beaded using a tubular black silk cord. Russia braid
or soutache is often used for the motifs, but even string dyed
black was used in victorian times. The beading is vintage Czech
french jet 2 and 3 cuts and marquises, with Swarovski black crystals,
black faceted glass beads and tear drops. The fringing is finished
with bead picots.
