Hand sculpted of polymer clay, silver bail and steel choker wire with magnetic closure. I wanted to make something unique to this area so that people could have a bit of “home” or “a taste of NYC” with them wherever they went.
A two-needle RAW weave using Swarovski 3mm pearls and Swarovski crystal bicones. The fastening is a beaded 8mm Swarovski pearl. The name is a reference to Catherine the Great, who was patron of the Arts while she reigned in Russia. The cross is a right angle weave exercise taught in Moscow beading schools.
