Icarus - A Reckless Abandon Necklace

"Icarus" is the love child of one pair of realistic bird wings and my obsession with mythology.

The story of Icarus is tale of reckless abandon that results in tragedy. Icarus was the son of Daedalus, a very talented artisan. Caught up in the beauty and euphoria of flying, he flew too close to the sun. Which caused his wax wings to melt. Unfortunately he plunged to his death.

He has become a popular icon for artistic abandon. For all us who get so caught up in the moment we forget deadly perils.

Two wings are laced together with handmade brass rope. There is a limited range of movement to these wings. The whole necklace is comprised of aged brass.

The special surprise is a teeny tiny clear rhinestone on the right wing tip. A lobster clasp finishes the look.

All BellaLili jewelry comes in a rigid tin/box, with a flower adorning the top. Tissue paper wraps the box to protect the flower in transit. A "Thank you" sticker secures the tissue paper in place. All that is carefully placed in a reused bubble mailer, along with 2 business cards (1 for you to keep, and the other is for the recipient of this gift). The card has my contact info on it, in case anyone ever needs the 2 yr warranty.

BellaLili's Review of HandMadeHorrors (Etsy Shop Review)

BellaLili's Review of HandmadeHorrors (Etsy Shop Reviews - Custom Order)

So I purchased 24 Hand Made Ribbon Roses, 12 in Jet Black & 12 in Cream (Satin).

(Like my Faux Lynx Footstool? I upholstered it myself! ;D)

This was a custom order and I am very pleased with how they came out. I received the items in about 3 days after I paid for them. Shipping was incredibly fast! The packaging was great, my roses came in a cute Halloween theme cellophane bag with a note from HandmadeHorrors herself. And even though the Ribbon Roses are very durable on their own the shipping packaging was great too & quite sturdy. I even received a few extras in the form of promo items from other Dark Siders.

HandmadeHorrors was great with communicating the absolutely reasonable pricing options and the progress of the order. The Ribbon Roses were exactly as she pictured so I was not disappointed. I am sure I will be back for more roses when this batch is gone!
