I always enjoy getting a call from Beth Hylen of Hylen Glass, her sculptural wearable art are always a joy to photograph. So much so I think I might get carried away sometimes. The piece below was Egyptian expired and looked great no matter what I did with it. The only trick was to maintain the detail in the silver. The box in the first photograph below is the necklace's sarcophagus.
We did the piece alone on a piece of black velvet board. The board is much easier to work with than black velvet fabric as it doesn't wrinkle and gets much less dust on it.
Yes, this is Beth modeling her work. You'll notice in the photo above that the necklace is long yet not worn so. Beth explained to me that the Egyptians wore their jewelry halfway in front and halfway down the back. The piece is weighted just so and will stay right where she is wearing it. Despite it's apparent size it really isn't heavy when you wear it (I speak from experience as she let me try in on, I love my job).
Here is a close up to help you get a better look at the detail in the pendant.
We spent most of our session on the necklace in a variety of poses but we did get to this little guy right at the end. The silver disc flows in the shape of a waterfall and hangs by two little eyelets on either side.
This should give you a better look at it.
