The Neck Tease

Here's a suggestion. Loosen your lapels & discover Neck Teases.

In my opinion the Neck Tease is particularly effective when worn with a jacket, blouse or shirt - they compliment a lapel or collar perfectly. Having been a 'City Suit' I know how dull a neckline can be. A lavish necklace may bulge and detract from your expensive tailoring. A brooch? Oh please!

So this is my answer - the Neck Tease. A touch of insouciance which shouldn't cause a mutter in the stuffiest of boardrooms. Add them to a shirt & jeans combo & they turn into the necklace equivalent of a witty flirt.

Lime and Lilac Rustic Neck Tease

I'm going to be frank. I want this one. It sings a song to me. Threaded onto the substantial wire of the centrepiece are

two sets of beads by Emma Ralph. Let's have a closer look.

I love the rustic & organic look of these beads - they reminded of earthenware pots & dishes. As for the colour - WOW! Do you know what I think?

This is a Neck Tease for an artist

All Neck Teases are suspended on pretty & secure chains which are fastened with toggle clasps as pictured above. They may be gently shaped to form a drape that pleases you. To ensure a fit which flatters you, I will happily shorten the chains to suit.

Size of the centrepiece: apporx 12 cm or 5 ½ inches

Length of chain & wire connection to clasp: approx 17 cm or 6 ½ inches each side

Price: £135 / approx $264

Grape Vine Neck Tease

The beads in this flamboyant mix of purples were created by Emma Ralph. As you can see the core of the ruffled beads is a blend of tones of amethyst. I have carried on the theme by adding a tincture of amethyst Swarovski crystals.

Size of the centrepiece: apporx 14 cm or 5 ½ inches

Length of chain & wire connection to clasp: approx 17 cm or 6 ½ inches each side

Price: £150 / approx $292

Price: £125 / approx $244

Two beautiful sets of beads by Laura Sparling are the focal point of this Neck Tease. Sterling silver spacers add visual texture.

Molecular Neck Tease

Emma Ralph is the creative force behind these assertive beads. The ceramic Charcoal River Rocks have a slight dusting of white beneath the final glaze. In my opinion the Chestnut Molecules are deliciously witty & stylish. Sterling silver rondels enhance this modernist design. A sophistcated choice.

Length of centrepiece; approx 13 cm or 5 ¼ inches

Length of chain & wire connection to clasp: approx 16 ½ cm or 6 inches each side

Price: £90 / approx $176
