Crescent shaped shawl with lace, knots, bobbles and stripes.

Pyrite is a mineral with a metallic luster. Its pale brass-yellow hue gives it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the nickname of “Fool’s Gold”. Pyrite is often found in coal.

The mineral inspired me to design this shawl with layers of colours in gold dust, gold and coal.
