Bead Embroidered Necklaces on ultrasuede

Ultra suede is a synthetic suede fabric. It’s soft, supple and sensuous to the touch. It’s also resistant to tears, stains and discoloration over time which is important when you think of all the work that goes into an embroidery piece. You want the backing to be beautiful but most importantly to last the test of time. The backing of any embroidered pendant will be the part that comes into contact with your skin. The soft backing is breathable and comfortable to wear and has a 'buttery-to-the-touch' feel.
