Featuring wonderful lampwork beads by Diane Sepenski and Ellen Dooley. I've woven a spiral seed bead rope in shades of green and red using Japanese seed beads and tiny drops and faceted glass. The red drops seem to grow and then blossom at the centerpiece.

The asymmetry of this necklace brings it to life as everything in nature is beautiful in its unique way. As if vining up the necklace, the glass poppies dangle with antique French brass flower cups on a short piece of chain.

About 23 inches in length with a Sterling Silver hook clasp for the front which adds to the garden feel with its spirals.

The pendant is about 3 inches in length, including the bail.

This is a one-of-a-kind necklace with timeless appeal.

I was inspired to create a couple of Poppy Remembrance necklaces in honor of our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day. Read more in my blog post:
