Elsa Peretti is a designer famous for her iconic pieces which includes the open heart design for Tiffany.  Since the 1st May 2009 the British Museum had 30 pieces on display as a gift from Tiffany and to mark 35 years collaboration between them and Elsa Peretti.

There were three particular pieces from the exhibition in which I loved; pearl pendant/silver pendant, silk poppy and the amazing scorpion necklace

There is a similar version using a Keshi Pearl, where the item is held inside a small silk net where a tassel hangs at the end.  With the unbalance shape of the object is more defined throught the net.

The detail on the neaklace is amazing, and it is most impressive and creative of Elsa using out stretch the arms so it is going around then neck.  From the information provided by the British Museum the body and the tail of the scorpion can be detached

Further pieces are available to be viewed at the British Museum which includes the bone candle pieces and thumb print plate
