It is my first work in bead crochet technique. I made it about a year ago. The big black beads, you can see on the picture, are the little pearls about 3-4mm in diameter. Hereyou find an excellent animated tutorial :-)
I made this necklace last year. It took near two month to do it.
It is not my idea. The work was done according the scheme of famous Russian master Galina Pchiolkina. Here you can see her scheme.
