Birthstone Scarves

Harkening back to Victorian times, each of the scarves is a modern-day interpretation of actual antique patterns as found in magazines of that time. Perhaps your great-great-grandmother was familiar with these techniques! We offer the scarves in honor of their work, and to showcase their skills as reflected in these beautiful heritage items.
January The garnet is a lovely gemstone which ranges in color from a deep burgundy red to pink. This gemstone scarf is mainly done with a filet crochet pattern, in which certain squares are filled in and others are empty. The pattern continues onto the borders of the scarf, where shortening each successive row creates a flowery effect. February The amethyst crystal ranges from the darkest purple to a light lilac color. This gemstone scarf (after the first 4 rows) is a four-row repeat, a fun and lively pattern. At the end, two halves are joined and then a ruffled burst is added around the entire rim. Warm and beautiful! March The aquamarine is cool and clear, like water. This gemstone scarf has an interesting V-formation, assembled of three pieces, with the main detail area on the back. Our version has a hanging bezel gemstone at the back's point, but of course you may place gems where you wish! April The diamond is clear and brilliant. This gemstone scarf follows the facets of its namesake, with unique sharp corners and an overall Art Deco influence. Think- Great Gatsby! Easy to make / assemble, this scarf is made of two halves and looks great long or short.

May The emerald is rich and deeply green, recalling Nature in the spring. This gemstone scarf has a flower-and-leaf emblem which begins in an unusual and fun way - chains, connect, repeat...It is made in one piece, with the leaf border added at the end.

June The pearl is smooth and lustrous, while opaque - a perfect complement to so many outfits. This birthstone scarf is made in one piece and works up amazingly fast, due to

    The material of the dresses is particularly specific to the underlying storyline of Joan of Arc, as it is a metallic and shiny stretchy silver fabric. This infers the idea of the dresses symbolising armour, which is relevant to the battles that Joan of Arc had to fight. The masculine armour like fabric then contrasts against the feminine style of dress, again backing up the important theme of Joan of Arc throughout the piece. The shiny material also shimmers in the light and emphasises movements and enhances angles that the dancers perform, whether they are big or small moves which then makes developing motifs clearer to see.…

    The dominant colors are sea blue, a tint of gray, and within the cracks, a soft gold. Only a few soft colors are being used, therefore creating a muted piece of art. There is a certain sense of harmony in the vessel because the gold and the grayish-blue combine well together forming a balance that does not allow one color to show more vividly than another.…

    Engraved, chased, and etched, the interlacing Celtic-like scrolls and knots wrap delicately and symmetrically around the vessel. Serpentine handles flank the widest and uppermost portion of the vase while twin stylized bird head figures frame the rim. In the center of the vase sits a stylized Viking-like mask or helmet. Symmetrically placed gemstones adorn the vase from the rim to the foot, while contrasting matte lavender, light green, and golden yellow enamels sit just behind the gleaming silver scroll patterns and echo the colors of the gemstones.…

    She holds a bunch of daffodils and anemones, and the basket contains daffodils, narcissus, and anemones. These individually hand-made flowers vary from edition to edition. Eventually the flowers became mainly daffodils with a varying amount of anemones in the basket. As noted, the decoration usually centres on the orange shawl, the dress with varying stripes of blue, yellow and green, occasionally red. A distinct variation occurs in the version with the large apron, and has orange stripes overlain with dark blue chevrons. A complete change is the blue shawl from, which appears in the larger apron versions, tied and edged with yellow. The dress has stripes of varying widths and shades of blue, with more white shown between the stripes. The figure painter has clearly defined the buttons and buttonholes of the bodice, creating a light and homogenous design. From 1923 to 1925 the Vyses’ produced the versions as…

    This is a very elegant looking gown. It consists of mainly different shades of purples. The bodice of the gown consists of a layer of tightly attached silk, covered in jewels and rhinestones. The top of the bodice has a bow shaped pattern attached. This draws your eyes to the top of the bodice. By having the bow on the top of the bodice the same material as the bottom of the gown, it shows how the designer has reused used materials in an effective way. The bottom of the gown is made of a purple shade of silk. Alex Perry has designed the bottom of this dress so that the layers are given with a multiple layering effect; make the gown look ‘fuller’.

    Stella McCartney

    • 1743 Words
    • 7 Pages

    1. Stella McCartney is a long-life vegetarian and an animal rights activist, which is evident in her designs as she does not use any leather or fur in her designs. Stella’s style is elegant and feminine, but her style also involves power dressing, with womens suits, stiff jackets and feminine lingerie. Her designs focus heavily on emphasising strong prints such as leopard and floral. There is a feminine, schoolgirl touch to her designs, as she includes loveheart prints and lips. Many of her designs, such as in the Spring 2014 collection, have very stiff structures, and the general silhouette for most designs, is pointed stiff shoulders, with a straight dress or pants, like one long rectangle. Some designs have an hourglass silhouette, as the skirt is fuller and the waist is thin, with stiff shoulders. In this collection, she uses deep mustards and dark browns, pale creams, and reds for the floral designs, subtle pinks and yellows, bright oranges, and blacks with dark greens and blues. Stella has used fake leathers, knitted wool, cotton/polyester, and satins in this collection. There is a range of textures used in this collection. The fake leathers would have a rubbery texture and the print used on them would create a bumpy surface, while the floral cotton/polyester designs would be a soft and smooth texture. The garments with prints would be smooth with a rough surface where the print is, while her designs with applique and beads would be rough and bumpy. Her designs are ‘ready to wear’ garments for women, childrens clothing, and lingerie. Her lingerie is very feminine and petite. The underwear and bras are centred around intricate floral lace that is very sheer and delicate. Stella uses mainly satin and lace in designing her lingerie range, and some designs, such as the bedwear, are made from cotton and polyester. Many of her lingerie designs, are solid colours such as light pinks, apple greens and oranges, while others are shades such as…

    In spite of the fact that the precious stone trim is absent from her exited eye, both eyelids and temples are laid out in dark. Her elegant prolonged neck adjusts the tall, level top crown which enhances her smooth head. The lively shades of the her accessory and crown differentiate the yellow-cocoa of her smooth skin. The naturalistic skin tone doubtlessly adds to the magnificence of the figure. I honestly feel like Nefertiti's stance in this piece is so naturalistic. While everything is etched to flawlessness, the one blemish of the piece is a broken left ear. Since this astounding model is still in presence, it is no big surprise why Nefertiti remains to be "The most beautiful Women in the world"…
