Elegant Black Seed Bead & Crystal Pearl Necklace

Even though this piece was completed just days ago, it is already a missing work of art. My daughter was wearing it and that is the last a remember seeing it. It is made of Swarovski Crystal Pearls- Tahitian style. Contact me if you find it anywhere. It is certainly one-of-a-kind.
Update- Good news. The necklace has been found as of 9/22/08.

I've been working with seed beads since around 2001. I do mostly tubular peyote. Despite it being a very time consuming process, I've made a countless number of necklaces over these years...giving a lot away as gifts to family and friends. It is what I do in my leasure while watching/ listening to TV/ movies with my family. I experiment with a lot of different size beads. For awhile I did a lot of tubular with an emphasis on spiral form, sometimes using small Swarovski crystals. For a period I was trying a lot with the Americana theme which I may revisit soon. Lately I've been creating necklaces that have taken on a beaded bead form as is evidenced in the silver and turquoise Carribean necklace. Almost all of my work contains the smallest seed beads, size 15 Rocailles or size 13 Charlottes(which I discovered only recently). I like colors, but also enjoy experimenting with black and white. All my necklaces are unique. No matter how popular, I've never done two of the same...primarily because that would be boring. I like adding names and dates to customize each one further. There is still so much to try!! I remain passionate about beadworking.
Be certain to enlarge pictures, so you can see the detail of the beadwork.
