Golden Smoky Rootbeer Necklace

Golden glass pearls with light smoky topaz Swarovski crystals and rootbeer seed beads and gold-filled filigree clasp. There are 5 clusters of 4mm bicone sprays on each side of every "pearl". The design is from 100 Beaded Jewelry Designs by Stephanie Burnham.

Because the whole thing is strung on beading thread, and I'm a really novice bead stitcher, it's quite delicate. I had to start over 3 times before I was able to complete the design without breaking my thread part-way through. I would not make this design for sale for fear it might break.
