It’s hard to believe, but this elegant necklace is comprised of leftover beads from my bead box. The result is a long, exquisite piece made of five strands of crocheted bead chains. Like the Five Fingers Necklace (pages 77-79), this one also has five chains representing the five members of my family-each one beautiful individually and magnificent when connected.
