Here's how the Collar was made ...
Debossed lace doily pattern
Nickel Silver plate is annealed. Lace doily layer on top of plate, and put through rollers. Repeat several times to create a unique debossed design
Forged into a collar shape
Annealed. Rounded on a tree stump, then bangle mandrel. Flared at the top and base. Oxidisation polished off
Rosary style closure system at the back
This unique closure system opens and closing from 3 different points, allowing chains and trinkets to drape from the back of the neck piece
Chains hung from the collar and draped around the bodice
Adorned with trinkets, and Sylvie Martin's photography showcased within miniature frames and lockets
Designed in collaboration with Ursula Bucek
Worn with Ursula's handmade blue corset. Featuring Sylvie Martin's photography printed on the fabric
