From Knit and Crochet with Beads Pairing slinky silk with matching copper beads gives this piece of jewelery a fancy edge. Create a sportier version by using cotton or linen with matte or wood beads, perhaps in a contrasting color. This peice sits lower on the neck than a choker, and feels just like a necklace, right down to the clasp closure. The lace pattern curves in a natural arc.
