KIT -- Berries Necklace

Description

Use Japanese fringe beads to add a new dimension to a herringbone necklace.

The fringe beads are incorporated in two different ways to form two different types of "berry clusters" in this fluid herringbone rope, which closes with a beaded (in herringbone!) toggle bar and loop for a seamless, secure closure.

If you're comfortable with tubular herringbone, this should be a breeze - though you will have to pay attention when making the berry clusters, as those fringe beads seem to want to fall inside the rope unless you're firm with them!

Two colourways:
-- PurpleBerries (iridescent green rope with matte lavender berries)
-- GoldBerries (raku-style matte green rope with silver-lined gold berries)
