handmade beaded necklace

The Lady of Shalott was immortalized in Tennyson's 1842 poem, loosely based on the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Astolat. The Lady of Shalott was cursed to watch the world from a high tower only through her looking glass and weave the things she saw reflected in it. When Sir Lancelot passed by, the Lady was tempted to look at him directly, and the curse then caused her death. This necklace has the shisha mirrors and tapestry-like patterns to represent the Lady's curse, and jet tears to mourn her fate.
