Gothic Victorian Choker

When I created this particular choker, I wanted to incorporate elements reminiscent of the Victorian era. I started with the lovely wide black scalloped lace and added tiny black beads and black sequin for a bit of sparkle. As a focal, I added a pretty smoky crystal setting and from that a black crystal beaded dangle. To add a gothic feel, I gathered three strands of simple chain and found that all together it was just the right amount of elegance and daintiness with a bit of a Gothic edge.
