| gold engraved circlet A simple styled white gold band wraps across the forehead and around to clasp at the back of the head, the metal forged with a mixture of dyes and crushed stone powders to give it a deep ocean blue-green coloration. Engraved into the gold, a rippling pattern mimics sea waves, the indentations lined with shards of deep blue sapphires. fluidic silk tidal tunic Aqueous ripples of silk flow over the shoulders and torso to form this tunic as it cascades down to the thighs in length. A deep vee collar leaves enough of the chest bare to be devilishly alluring, accented by the lack of sleeves that gives the tunic an almost vest like appearance. Stirring with even the slightest amount of breeze or movement, the thin diaphanous silk appears almost completely transluscent, giving the illusion that it is indefinately dampened by the gentle spray of breaking waves. Carefully dyed a variety of deep oceanic teal colors, the filmy silk seems almost as though it is completely an illusion as the light plays over the colors, adding ripples and swirls reminiscent of a deep-sea whirlpool as the tides change. Faint embroidery follows the vee of the collar, the sapphire hued threads contrasting only when the light catches enough to make the embroidery visible as it depicts the hazy image of fragile seaweed fronds. Following the hems where sleeves should start, and at the bottom hem of the garment, matching embroidery has been painstakingly added to accent the aquatic apparition of the tunic. gold engraved armbands A simple styled white gold band wraps snug around each bicep, held securely in place with a small hidden clasp to the inside of the bands. Carefully forged with a mixture of dyes and crushed stone powders, the metal holds a deep oceanic blue-green coloration, offsetting the shimmering shards of deep blue sapphires that line engraved watery swirls around the bands. fluent silk twisted belt Thin strips of fine woven aquatic teal silk are braided into a five stranded weave and then stitched in places to create a spiraling twist along the belt. Made long enough to be wrapped twice around the waist and designed to be worn over the top of a tunic so that it draws it in at the waist, the ends drape down along the hip and have been allowed to tumble out of the braid, creating liquid ripples of the oceanic teal material with even the slightest movement aqueous silk trousers Tailored to a comfortable fit at the waist so that it is casually snug beneath a tunic, aqueous waves of silk tumble in liquid waves to form these trousers. Fine woven, the diaphanous material is slightly less transluscent than the tunic that covers the top portion of it, and has been dyed a shade of deep-sea blue that seems almost to fade in and out, giving the illusion of gradually deepening waters as it flows down away from the matching lighter tinted tunic. Faintly visible fronds of fragile seaweed are embroidered along the hems of each leg, swaying gently upward as if caught on an invisible current around the legs as the material flutters and ripples loosely with the slightest movement. calf-strapped sandals Soft soles are created by countless layers of heavily pressed and stitched silk, molding exactly to the bottom of the foot for a comfortable fit. Sturdy woven layers of silk start at the toes, criss-crossing over the tops of the feet before wrapping back behind the ankle to hold the sandals in place, the remainder of the silk straps twining up almost to the top of the calf to tie securely, providing a complete fit in every spot. Dyed a variety of aquatic teal colors, the multiple layers of the thin silk allows the sandals to have an almost rippling depth as each step is taken. |
