Ceremonial Shoulder Piece with Embroidered Birds and Flowers - Olive Birds

Birds & Blossoms Shoulder Piece

A celebration of colourful embroidery and cascading ceramic beads

Vivid birds, blooming flowers and flowing beadwork come together in this striking shoulder piece. With distinct embroidery on the front and back, it offers something beautiful from every angle. Black and olive-green tones provide a rich backdrop for bright accents, creating a piece of wearable art full of character and movement.

Embroidered Birds at the Front

Two colourful birds spread their wings across the dark front panels, their turquoise feathers, orange bodies and long red tails captured in intricate embroidery. Flowering stems extend towards the shoulders, connecting the birds to red and yellow blossoms above. Olive-green stitching frames each panel and complements the beadwork below.

A Garden of Flowers at the Back

Across the back, embroidered flowers take centre stage. Red and golden-yellow blooms sit above turquoise flowers with pink, purple and dark centres. Their vivid colours stand out beautifully against the black background, giving the back its own distinctive design.

Beads That Move With You

Long strands of handmade ceramic beads fall from the front panels in sweeping curves. Sections of olive green and black give way to a lively mix of pink, turquoise, yellow, orange and blue, echoing the colours of the embroidery.

A shorter drape of beads decorates the back, while individual beaded fringes finish the floral panels. These fringes combine black, olive green and colourful accents with warm golden-toned beads at their tips, adding a gentle swaying movement.

Art From Every Angle

Designed to rest across the shoulders, this piece brings together the presence of a statement necklace and the detail of an embroidered garment. Layer it over a simple top or dress to let the birds, blossoms and flowing strands shine, with the back embroidery left visible.
