A natural baroque white pearl flower rests against a background of black seed beads in this one of a kind bead embroidered brooch.The contrast of the white iridescent pearl petals against the black seed beads really makes the pearls stand out. Fifteen strands of fringe made from black seed beads, twisted black bugle beads, small drop beads and pear shape beads with a rainbow (iridescent) finish and clear 4mm fire polished Czech beads with an aurora borealis (iridescent) finish add movement and sparkle to this brooch. The iridescent finishes also accent the iridescence of the pearl petals. Texture and dimension are given to the brooch by the shape of the pearl petals and the fact that they rest on top of the seed beads.

The embroidery is done on black interfacing and is backed with a soft ultra suede in black. It closes with a nickle free bar clasp pin back.

This brooch is 2 1/2 inches (6.35 cm.) wide and inches (10.16 cm.) long. This measurement is from the top of the brooch to the end of the longest strand of fringe.


Pearls are the birthstone for the month of June. Pearls are believed to eliminate emotional imbalances, help people see themselves. It is also believed that they give wisdom through experience. The ancient Greeks thought pearls were the tears of the gods.
