Have you ever heard of a Cellini Spiral?

Cellini Spiral is a beadwork stitch that uses seed beads stepping up from very tiny ones, to gradually larger ones. I found this pattern to be challening, especially when first establishing the foundational pattern. But one I got the hang of it, it went smoothly. The resulting "beaded bead" is the focal piece of this necklace.

To give this piece a really rich look, I chose a turquoise and bronze theme, using bronze hex beads, turquoise and gold seed beads, genuine facetted turquoise rondelles and brass/bronze cultured pearls and Swarovski crystal pearls. Each strand connects to a length of brass link chain which closes securely at the back of then neck with a brass lobster clasp.
