The Lost Garden Bead Embroidered Necklace

The Lost Garden feels like a fragment of some extravagant, half-forgotten place—part botanical treasure, part ancient ornament.

The substantial focal piece is built around a richly patterned central cabochon, alive with curling botanical forms in blue, green, violet and muted gold. Copper and antique-bronze tones give the piece warmth and structure, while turquoise accents and the two wing-like upper elements broaden the silhouette and create an almost architectural quality.

Below, a green textile focal element with a vivid purple flower introduces a softer botanical note before the necklace finishes in a long, fluid tassel of bronze, turquoise and olive-toned beads. The fringe moves naturally with the body, giving this otherwise highly structured piece a wonderful sense of movement.

The beaded necklace measures 56 cm long, extendible to 62 cm. The focal piece measures 21 cm long including the tassel × 10 cm wide.

Elaborate, romantic and slightly mysterious, The Lost Garden has the character of an ornament discovered somewhere overgrown and forgotten—its colours and patterns still remarkably alive.
