07/25 - Cynthia Rutledge - Gabrielle's Muse

Saturday July 25
10 AM - 4 PM with a lunch break
Difficulty Level: Intermediate - advanced.

Gabrielle’s Muse: An Elegant Sautoir is a blend of styles. Mixing the look of the long pearl necklaces and mixed chains that were a standard iconic style of Coco’s personal style, my design flows from this inspiration right into the art deco period.

A puffy square-shaped central component with a beautiful CZ cushion cut nestled inside; an open three-dimensional rectangular shape, and a puffy square-shaped pearl drop make up the pendant. Pulling from the design of the pendant, the chain is made of smaller rectangles, squares and pearl cabochon links and worn long, in the style of a sautoir. Coco said, “Keep your heels, head and standards high”, so I think she would be pleased.

Necklace length: 35 inches including the pendant and drop

Techniques:

Bezel work
Peyote stitch, tubular and flat, with increasing
Picots and embellishing techniques
