QUEEN VINCEZA
Swarovski Crystal and Venetian Beaded Top with matching Feathered Skirt
2006
This spectacular beaded top contains absolutely no fabric. It is skillfully woven with over 40 different colors and styles of Swarovski crystal, 24kt gold Venetian beads and gold metal findings. The necklace, back and front of this top are amazingly just one piece.
The base of the skirt is made from turkey support tail feathers and then covered with individually hand placed caramel and black hen feathers. And then we finally embellished the whole piece with over 5,000 Swarovski flat back crystals. The only fabric used in this design was the 3” at the waistband.All jewelry and the accessories are made from vintage and modern Swarovski crystal and Venetian 24kt gold leaf, exotic, animal print beads. The crowing glory head piece was skillfully crafted by Anne with chicken and specially stripped rooster feathers.
