COLLIER "VINEYARD IN TUSCANY" per il nuovo Vintaj Design Challenge

Here is my entry for the 2012 November Vintaj Design Challenge, having the theme "Harvest Moon".The inspiration for this necklace is taken from the memory of the Tuscan countryside where I spent a short vacation. I tried to evoke the richness of ripe grapes and the warm colors of the Italian landscape in early  autumn, using a wide variety of semi-precious stones, mixed with seed beads, glass leaves, Lucite flowers. The round Vintaj brass frame emphasizes the mother-of-pearl  "full moon" , and the moonlight is recalled also by  the two coin pearls . Not only form men it’s the harvest season: can you see the small birds pecking the grains? Voting will be open from October 29 – midnight November 2, with the challenge winner & editor’s pick posted on Monday, November 5. If anyone likes my work, and would like to vote it, I'll be very happy!

Ho creato un collier ad intreccio, inserendo gli elementi di ottone Vintaj - grappoli, uccellini, la cornice rotonda centrale- in un effeffto siepe, ispirato all'epoca della vendemmia e ai colori del'autunno; ho usato tantissime pietre dure diverse, perle in vetro, cristalli, fiori in lucite, ed inserito come tocco "lunare" due perle coin ed un disco di madreperla al centro.
