When I learned how to do tubular herringbone stitch I immediately thought of freshwater seed pearls. I think they are a perfect match for this technique and the end result creates a luxurious necklace.
I specially like the contrast between the silky white pearls and the dark red of Bamboo coral in this necklace.
Natural pearls have very small holes which made creating this necklace very challenging, but I think the silky look and feel created by the tubular herringbone stitch and the luster of seed pearls made it all worthwhile.
