This is a neckpiece I entered in the 2008 Bead Dreams contest. I used square stitch for the braids, peyote stitch for
pendant top and a spiral rope chain for the fringes. Though very difficult to do, I weaved rhinestones onto all the braids.
This was a very fun necklace to make, and is one of my personal favorites. Usually when I attend a bead show, I display this piece.
