Soutache is said to have originated from the practice of sewing patterns onto the cuffs and collars of European aristocratic blouses and jackets using special flat braids. It is made by combining colorful cords with cabochons and beads. The finished product is very light and gorgeous. It is often used for accessories in flamenco and belly dance, but it is also great for everyday wear ♪ It's truly wonderful. Turquoise blue that cheers you up! A brooch that instantly changes your impression just by wearing it. It's useful to have one... you might want several? (lol) It turned out beautifully, with a gorgeous and elegant finish. It's so light you'll forget you're wearing it (lol). Please give it a try! There may be some rough stitching, but this is a piece I worked on with all my heart. Thank you for your understanding before purchasing. Brooch (Shawl Pin) Width: 7.5 cm (total length) Height: 3 cm (maximum)
