A textured chain leads to a twisted cut dark citrine, but between these elements, teensy faceted rondelles have been painstakingly wirewrapped - citrine and scapolite are the gemstones that have been used - the earthy hue has been lifted by the introduction of goldfilled rounds. To complete the look, generous hand forged ear wires grace the Tyger Tyger earrings. The entire creations have been oxidised and then selectively rubbed back - this only enhances the opulent textured feel of these very special design.</p> realisationcreations art silver jewelry jewellery sterling creations realisation wirewrapped realisationcreations Queen Mab http://www.flickr.com/photos/realisationcreations/3974181722/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/realisationcreations/">realisationcreations</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/realisationcreations/3974181722/" title="Queen Mab"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2563/3974181722_0fd8fef355_m.jpg" width="208" height="240" alt="Queen Mab" /></a></p> <p>The Queen Mab necklace is an opulent design, befitting the wonderous Queen of the Faeries.
