I really loved the silver and black version of this but I was thinking that not everyone prefers silver jewelry to gold as I do so I decided to make the necklace again using gold in place of silver. The rope is slightly different as is the triangle. Might just be me, but I still prefer the silver one!

Two Quick Bracelets
I enjoy doing both the Russian Spiral and the Spiral Rope and often when I need something simple to work on, I make a bracelet using those stitches. Here are the latest couple of results.
There are three different shades of blue in this one, combining with the silver center spine.
Too bad I wasn't able to photograph well, the shine of the silver lined grey toho beads in this one.

Scalloped Triangle Pendant on Spiral Rope
Because I really enjoy beading the spiral rope stitch, I've made another necklace, this one with a triangle pendant. The rope has been done for a week or more and I was uninspired about making a pendant for it. Last night I began to visualize a triangle pendant that I'd intended to embellish. I had the triangle mostly done before I went to bed last night and got up this morning, ready to complete it and get started on the embellishment. The first three or four things I tried I pulled out before I finally stumbled upon using the rondelles and creating a scallop to encase them. I'm very happy with the result. As always, the pendant can be removed to wear the rope alone. This piece is listed for sale in my Etsy shop with more views of the piece.
