Metapherin- Statement necklace Battle of the Beadsmith 2015

As promissed I present you my entry for the Battle of the Beadsmith 2015 .The competition has started with revealing the designs in group D .
This statement jewelry is called Metapherin ,the Greek word for metaphor, and it is meant to recreate and celebrate the maternal figure through using floral symbols.
The moral features of the mother devolve from the semantics of each of the 3 flowers I used: the Edelweiss, the lilacs and the Halfeti rose. Both lilac flowers and the Halfeti rose stand for mistery,pure love and hope.It is also known that lilacs symbolize the spiritual legacy,traditions,family and the sense of belonging.
The Edelweiss or as some romanians call it , the Queen's Flower , was the favourite flower of Queen Elisabeth I of Romania.It is the symbol of purity and courage . They say it first appeared in Paradise.
A mother embodies all these attributes and tries to pass them to her children.
Therese of Lisieux also known as "Little Flower"said that "The loveliest masterpiece of the heart of God is the love of a mother.
Hope you'll enjoy my beaded metaphor.
