Chatelaine's Heirloom

Last summer the Portland Bead Society hosted a weekend of awesome classes with international instructor Helena Tang-Lim.  We had a great time, and the projects are very impressive!  Also very time-consuming.  Well, I finally finished one of them during our recent PBS Bead Retreat.  Here is my completed Chatelaine's Heirloom.  I made one small change to Helena's pattern: I added magnetic clasps to the necklace strap, so it can be converted to wear without the pendant.
