The St. Petersburg stitch is one of my all time favorite beading stitches.  The seed bead colors used in this handmade necklace are matte black, shiny silver, and translucent fuchsia pink.  The  width of the beaded chain is approximately a 1/2 inch wide.  The total length of the necklace is approximately 17.5  inches and it sits nicely on your neck, especially with a crisp blouse.    The necklace is finished with an ornate silver toned lobster style clasp.
