Here's another piece we just finished here...
My cousin Diana wrapped each bead (the inside of which is a big Tahitian pearl, albeit not a very shiney one, but a pearl nonetheless). The wrapped beads are about 28mm each, which seem to dwarf the banded South Sea pearls (14mm). The necklace is 17" and it feels magical.
I asked her how long it took to make the 12 beads... she smiled and said... I lost count, but it was relaxing.... (she has a three year old at home!)
