This statement queen bee necklace was originally a commission, but from the beginning I decided to made more than one, so I could share this design with you. 
 
I created the "Queen Bee" using beautiful selection of autumnal toned leather including some, shiny foiled gold and silver leathers. 
 
Each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.
 
Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.
 
Each order will be carefully wrapped and posted to you FREE of charge if in the UK. Please contact me for shipping costs anywhere else. If this is a gift and you would also like to add a message please contact me with your details.
 
I would love to see your photos & hear your thoughts.
