I used 8mm Picasso Czech glass beads, in sage and sand, for the central portion of the necklace, and graduated down to 4 mm Czech firepolish for the sides. Bronze seed beads really make the earthy colors in these beads pop! Swarovski crystals add some sparkle, as do the champagne-colored firepolish beads, which have an AB finish.
Yesterday, I made a "beaded button" type of clasp for the necklace, using circular brick stitch and one of the 8mm Picasso beads:
Here is how the clasp looks, closed:
This necklace would look great dressed down and worn casually, but has enough sparkle and elegance to be dressed up, too.
And it has just been added to my Etsy shop!

Your clasp adds a nice touch of WOW to a terrific piece!
So much work but the necklace is beautiful. And the second loop for the clasp is wonderful and really finishes off the clasp.
I really like the colour combo and the design is great - that is a great pattern - the spiral weave looks super
Your necklace is very charming, so lovely. I like the coulours so much. A wunderful beadwork!

Is there a pattern for this bracelet?

Sorry for the late reply, Barb. Holidays and all! I didn't have a specific pattern; just worked off a basic flat spiral, using larger beads at the front, and then graduating down to slightly smaller beads for the back. This YouTube video teaches the same basic flat spiral, and you'd just have to decrease your bead sizes on each end of the necklace to get the same result I did. Have fun!
