Parrot choker
Parrot choker necklace, crochet wire with jungle flowers and gemstones, statement necklace
One of a kind choker necklace decorated with a jungle theme.
I created the necklace by crocheting and sewing coloured copper wire and added lots of gemstones to the piece, you can see a list of the gemstones and beads I used below. The crochet work details include various different flowers, ferns, some branches and a red parrot perching on a tree branch and I added a red wire backing to the necklace.
The necklace has a sterling silver parrot shaped lobster claw clasp and a silver extender chain. The necklace measures 38cm (15 in) long at the top and the extender chain adds another 3.5cm (1.4 in) to the length. The necklace is 7cm (2.8 in) wide at its widest point and 4.5cm (1.8 in) wide at its thinnest point.
The necklace is designed to wrap quite closely around the middle or bottom of the neck.
