Description

Shield of Itarildë

This 4-in-1 necklace is my entry in the 2013 Battle of the Beadsmith: [link]

1) Name of your piece: Shield of Itarildë (the name Itarildë means "sparkling brilliance" in Elvish). My Itarildë is an Elvish warrior with both physical agility and magical powers.

2) Name of stitch, stitches used: circular herringbone variation, netting, RAW

3) Name of products used, size and material: 18 and 27mm Swarovski rivolis, 3mm and 4mm Swarovski bicones, 15/o and 11/o permanent finish seed beads, 15/o and 11/o seed beads, and hook and eye closures.

4) overall size of piece: depends how it is being worn. The piece can be worn 4 ways. There are 2 chokers, one 13.5", and the other 14.5". There are 2 extensions, each 4.5" long with a 2.5" dangle. With the extension, the piece can be worn with the focal in front and the dangle in back or vice versa. The two chokers can also be worn together with one focal in front and one in back. The total inside linear measurement then becomes 28". The lower row of components adds approximately 3" of vertical length to the front and/or back depending on configuration.

5) time to complete: 2 months. I really have no idea how many hours it took.
