Wedding Necklace
This necklace has special meaning for me because I wore it to my daughter Stefani's wedding (to match my Ivory silk dress). The body of the necklace and the neckpiece (loomed as one piece) were worked with 11° seed beads, Ivory and White Gold. It has three layers of fringe. The top layer is a straight fringe, done with the same seed beads and 3mm Gold Iris bugle beads. The middle fringe is looped and longer, also done with the same seed beads but I added Topaz Swarovski crystal beads to each loop. The long fringe, using the same seed beads and bugle beads, carries transparent Topaz bugle beads, glass and brass pendants, and 1 large Swaroski crystal bead, about 20mm.
