Ruby velvet with pearl

A swirl of deep ruby velvet, resembling the heart of deep red rose, forms the background. The fabrics deep folds disappear into black shadows. The light from the left illuminates the gold necklace casually tossed in the velvet folds and gleams on the unusually shaped ‘fishtail pearl’ pendant. The pearl’s sinuous curves are held in strands of gold moulded in seaweed-like forms and decorated with small diamonds. Part of the If fabrics could speak... project, Scheherazade series.
