Parrot tulip sitting pretty!

I've wanted this bead since I first set eyes on it and still, I was blown away when I received it!  The detail is amazing and it has been a long time since I've been truly amazed by a bead.  It deserves to be solo on another recent purchase, an artisan black pearl FN.  I am in awe of the attention to conceptual inspiration, artistry and detail possible in a silver bead, in this age of mass production and retireds madness.  Thank you, Faerybeads!

simply beautiful, trollmoll! you've said it best about the awe the parrot tulip insipires! it looks gorgeous sitting on its lovely throne!   TFS!

That is simply beautiful. And you are right, it does deserve to shine in the spotlight as you have it!

Isn't it a fabulous bead?! Mine is on the bracelet I'm wearing as I type this  

Congrats on a beautiful black pearl FN! the combination puts me in mind of the famous black tulip  

so beautiful!

That just looks sooooooooo amazing !

Simply striking! So happy you like it!
I love wearing mine with just one bead beneath it.

How beautiful! I have a long list of FBs that I'm saving for but I think this may have bumped the Tulip up to the top...

The tulip is so beautiful and looks great on the FN.
Where do you bought the FN?

Ok, this pic has just lead to my final decision of ordering it!   
It looks so gorgeous just sitting there on that necklace!

looks really great with the black pearl

  
Parrot tulip is although one of the loviest beads I have ..... I' m thinking about a second one and then wear the tulips on both side of the lock

I can also imagine a single pearl on a simple silver chain, sitting between two tulips!
