This pretty necklace is a combination of bead weaving and bead embroidery. Instead of beading on beading foundation, the pendant is beaded around/on a metal filigree with open areas allowing the background to show through and creating a wonderful dimensional affect. The mounted teardrop crystal at the bottom of the pendant is just beautiful- with a radiating starburst affect that picks up multiple colors of light.

This is such a fun necklace to make and it works up quite quickly. It is a nice wearable size, great for that night out or for a day at work. The pendant part of this necklace measures 1 3/4" from the top to the bottom of the teardrop crystal and 1 1/4" wide at the widest part.

The neck chain is an unusual and pretty pattern, mimicking flowers and leaves
