This is an elegant pattern for a beaded lace collar necklace, made from 11/0 seed beads and 4mm pearls. There are five rows of stitching required in the pattern, so it takes a while to make, but the end result is an ornate yet graceful design with a bit of old-world style. Substituting 4mm crystals for the pearls would look nice as well.  (I think this could make a nice vintage-looking bridal piece if made from white or off white beads and pearls). Enjoy!
