One easy way to add interest and a little texture/depth to peyote stitch can be accomplished by using different size seed beads in the work. This tubular peyote stitch necklace was made with even count rows starting with 10 beads alternating between no.11 size seed beads and no. 8 seed beads with each "step up". I used no. 11 silk finish beads to add extra sparkle. The first and last row was made with a complete row of 10 size no. 11 beads. Additional fringe work was added around the closure and main sections leading into the glass lampwork focal bead.

WOW Lisa, that is a beautiful necklace, I really like the color and the lamp worked focal is gorgeous. I'm going to give this a try.
