Early in 2009, I learned how to make tubular peyote stitch. It can be used for many things - from amulet bags to rings, but the solution for me was to use it for a more substantial necklace rope from which to hang pendants. The pendant in this necklace is Mexican Opal set in sterling. I had worn it on a plain silver snake chain. But it wasn't always long enough to go over collars, or versatile enough to be shortened. Besides, I wanted something that had more color than just a metal chain. It is also long enough to be worn without the pendant, singly, and/or knotted.
I learned the technique from Beading With Peyote Stitch, by Jeannette Cook and Vicki Star, a great source book for peyote technique. This necklace was completed 3-10 >>MPK
