Browns, Reds and Pearls Delight

I was inspired by a beautiful agate necklace I had seen in an American Indian jewelry shop and decided to try out a new technique I was reading about. This turned out to be an intricate, labor and time intensive project but well worth the end result. It is a matinee necklace about 20 inches in length. I have used red agate chips, amber chips and cultured pearls. The necklace is knotted through the length and accented by a pendant which is woven together by the same cord.

The earrings finish the ensemble and are woven in the same pattern as the pendant.
