Turquoise and Bronze Vintage Textile Choker Antique All paintstakingly finished and edged

All paintstakingly finished and edged with tiny beads

It was originally in a plastic and brass frame which looked dated and didn’t do justice to this little work of art

This piece holds its own beautifully on its own

Pretty vintage turquoise crosses with minute floral decoration are the focal point to these lovely drop earrings with large blue cabouchon

This was certainly a lightbulb moment when we spotted this tiniest of switches at a recent antique market

Turquoise and Bronze Vintage Textile Choker Antique All paintstakingly finished and edgedThis glamorous choker started life as a few bits of rather sad looking vintage textile. However, I loved the colours and the potential to bring it back to life in some way. I took off some of the goldwork and coiled into small medallions. The long ovals were created from oblong sections. Each one has been backed and edged with lots of small beads for some extrra sparkle and they are hand sewn to a wonderful peacock blue backing. Wear on its own or
