Braided Crystal Necklace with Crystal Teardrop Pendant

This elegant crystal AB braided necklace with a large Swarovski Teardrop pendant was designed for dressy occasions and made using the ancient Japanese art of kumihimo braiding.

The kumihimo braid is a textured twisted spiral pattern made with two different sizes and two different colors of beads.  The larger beads are crystal AB rondelles and the smaller beads are Japanese seed beads in Ceylon Snowflake color.  A large Swarovski crystal AB teardrop pendant measuring 10x5 mm is the focal point of this necklace.

The necklace was finished with silver plated bead caps and clasp and measures 22 inches long.  It goes perfectly well with silver or gold earrings.  Custom earrings with matching Swarovski crystals can also be custom ordered.
