This unusual piece of hand-painted lace is pleasted up on an organdy ribbon to be worn as a choker, then enhanced with Rhinestones and a handmade polymer clay focal point! It's soft antique brass and deep blue metallic colors bring out a rich depth that is unexpected from a piece of lace. It is visually unique, contemporary, and "nostalgic" all at the same time!

The lace is 4" wide, with a beautiful "drop" motif that is painted carefully in a gradation of blues, purples and brass. Enhanced with gorgeously reflective Montana blue Swarovski rhinestones and a handmade polymer clay keyhole, this is a one of kind piece. Dangling from the keyhole is an antique brass chain with a beautiful metal heart charm. The center piece is capped with a gold metallic organdy ribbon!

Charming and elegant, this piece has a feel about it that is strikingly eye-catching. Perfect for neo-Victorian cosplay, this piece has a nostalgic feel that hearkens to a Steampunk personality!

But beyond the costume applications, this piece has real potential for contemporary wardrobes, too! Gorgeous with a simple t-shirt tand jeans, it can also be worn with an elegant dress for a night out, or even under a shirt collar for working in the office! The ties in the back are long enough to allow the piece to be worn not only as a choker, but much lower down as a necklace. It can be worn around any size neck!

Shipping is included for orders in the United States.
