Beaded Cameo Necklace

First I chose the center beads, thread them, and tied a knot on each side. Then I added more groupings of 3 or 4 on each sides, trying to balance color, shape, and size, until the desired length was reached. Then I used wire to add additional beads and the cameo charm, then a few inches above on both sides to compliment the central focal beads below.
