I saw this necklace online and I realize it is crystal and not beaded.  I would love to make a necklace with a similar shape, but beaded.  Any ideas on how to achieve this look?  Peyote stitch perhaps? I welcome any ideas and thoughts!

I think cubic RAW might work.

I think making a series of herringbone-stitch bands and then attaching them together would work. You could use clear silver-lined beads  or maybe even small pearls in a few sizes to create the arches and maybe ladder stitch for the sections on the band supporting the arches.

The piece is stunning. I believe that although cubic right angle would work, however I think it may be too thick and not be flat enough to achieve the look of this flat piece.  I think the herringbone, or a herringbone, peyote combination could possible be an answer.

I think there may be many ways to recreate this look with beads, you just need to experiment with it until you are happy with the look.

Happy Beading!!

Try a combination of stitches:  square for the main collar (in sections), herringbone for the draping curves, ...?

Just work at it til you're happy with the result.  Would love to see your finished piece.
