Zestaw do haftu koralikowego – ozdoba do włosów „Piękne pióro”

“Beautiful feather” is a black hair clip shaped as a feather with golden accents.

What the picture shows

The feather curves in an arc: a wide base, a pointed tip and an uneven edge, as if the barbs had parted. The main field is worked in black beads with a metallic sheen, laid in the direction the feather grows. A golden line winds along the shaft, and short golden rays of bugle beads rise from it. Smoky and honey-coloured faceted stones lie in the centre with a few black ones beside them. The canvas is covered completely. Thirteen colours work in half-tones: black, graphite, anthracite and three gradations of gold. The golden rays run only along the upper edge while the lower part stays solid black, so the feather looks lit from one side.
