This creamy, dreamy, jade and ivory piece is one-of-a-kind, completely hand-stitched, and made with hand-dyed dupion silk, silk-satin and silk-chiffon.
I dip-dyed the silk-chiffon for the pleated rosette panels to create a jade-to-ivory ombre which i love, its subtle but matches so nicely with the ombre dip-dyed fringing.
The lace is a stunning bronze sequinned tulle, overlaying a hand-dyed silk satin that has the most luxurious sheen. To match and complement that bronze warmth, I airbrushed a bronze gradient border onto ivory panels of silk, which i overlayed with a delicate gold lace.
It took me a while to find the exact beads I wanted for this piece but I eventually found the perfect combination of creams and bronzes and jades, and I think they are the perfect jewellery to finish the shade, along with the gold braided trim.
This is a bright shade, that gives off a strong but really nicely diffused light. A warm, low wattage bulb creates a gorgeous shmoozey glow.
