Long Peyote Stitch Beadwork Neklace with Artisanal Ceramic Bead and Sterling Silver Findings

I wanted to make a really nice piece when I started this. I think it took more than a week.

• The beads are tiny size 14 seed beads which most people who make jewelry don't use because of their diminutive size. Each inch of this beadwork takes almost an hour. 
• The metals are sterling silver with the exception of the cone on the tassel, which is silver plate, and the end caps, which are steel. Even the ends of the beadwork are accented with sterling silver beads.
• The bail is wire work handmade by me out of sterling silver. None other exactly like it.
• The tassel is of the very small sterling bugle beads called "liquid silver."
• The pendant is a ceramic artisanal bead which in inherited from my father when he died. He loved to make jewelry and I think he would have been proud of me making this piece.
• The cord is strong paracord which in the center where it shows has been covered with beautiful nylon thread.

 

Overall a very unique piece which should start conversations and go with many outfits due to its neutral colors. I stand by my work and if anything begins to go wrong with this piece I will happily fix it as close as possible to the original, depending on what materials I can find.
