handmade beaded necklace

A focal nautilus shell and other mother-of-pearl and coin-pearl stations sweep outward in this bead embroidery necklace. Texture abounds as you wait for the waves to come sweeping over the beach in this cluster of pearls, pearls, and more pearls. The vermeil chain and hook closure allows adjustment from 17 to 19-1/2 inches. Andromeda's Pearls won first place in the 2008 Fire Mountain Gems Beading Contest in the pearls category.
