Tatum Bead-Embellished African Textile Print Ruffle Beaded Neckpiece

The Tatum neckpiece is a bold statement inspired by the rich African artistry and craftsmanship. For this neckpiece, I have also sought inspiration from the aristocratic glamour and spectacle of the seventeenth century, characterised by high ruffled collars and bejewelled fabrics worn by Queen Elizabeth 1 of England.

Tatum, just like its name meaning strength, power and dominance, is designed with the articulated amour like look in mind, harnessed with elegance and grace.

This exquisite collar/cape design is lavishly crafted with repurposed textile remnants that form the frill design. This elaborate design is heightened and ladened with the most beautiful glass beads, carved rose beads, silver, gold-tone brass and chains, Swarovski crystals, silk tassels, brass coin charms, wooden beads and gemstones, 

This intricate craftsmanship took a lot of time to create and involved many labour-intensive processes—actual labour of love which was a delight to hand-create.

Functionality is vital, so this bold statement look can be best celebrated and enjoyed in many ways. Style over jackets, plain tee teamed with your fav jeans, trousers or maxi skirts or strapless gowns for that eccentric evening glam look that will wow you and the crowd this season and the next. The pleated edges add enough coverage for the upper arm, so there is no need to worry about exposing your arm. The high beaded neckline will keep your neck warm over your favourite jumper or jacket during the cold season. We say this is a step-up look to spice up your winter style.

CARE:

• Keep the prying eyes of MR DUST away from your precious treasure, and enjoy your art longer by storing it away in the pouch and jewellery box.
• It’s so easy to clean. Lovingly wipe with a clean jewellery cloth.
• Worried about all that sparkles, glitters and comes in robust brass forms? Don’t panic! I’ve taken care of that for you, so you don’t have to worry about your jewel losing its dull and looking ancient. Just show love from your end, and you’ll have a long-lasting relationship.
• Before I let you go, your jewellery has a friend in me.  If it needs to visit anytime soon, I hope that won’t be the case; I’m on standby to welcome her anytime, freshen her up and send her back to you. Don’t worry, and I foot the bill.
