Multicoloured Vintage Collar with Hand Beaded Pendant Other August 1996 - Lucas IndustriesWorking on vintage textiles is like heaven to me. This collar, which may have been from a wonderful cocktail garment, was depleted of many of its beads and needed a lot of TLC. It was lovely on its own but I've taken it to the next level adding a round handbeaded pendant made over many hours. Wear this couture piece any time, any place, any where.
