I Love this piece! I started with a base of grosgrain ribbon in Chocolate (yum) brown and attached 3 handmade silk roses in varied colors each with a unique rhinestone center. The highlight of the piece for me would be the triple strand of glass pearls in shades of brown, gold, cream and moss green. The finishing touch is a rhinestone studded brass brooch which is removable if you would like to wear it elsewhere.
