"Szuflada" challenge - Monochromatic Symmetry

Somehow I was so sure I have time until Sunday and what a surprise - today is the deadline!
But it's still before midnight, so I think I'll fit :)

This piece is participating in Szuflada's challenge, Monochromatic Symmetry:

The necklace has been created a while ago, when I was listening to archive radio programme about archaeology on internet channel of Polish Radio Trojka. And even though the final creation has nothing to do with Ancient Egypt, it will forever remind me about queen Nefertiti's scandals :D


The cameo has been resting in my chest for a while now, I finally came to use it.
And a close-up too:


It has been wrapped in Toho Round beads in colours: Opaque Frosted White, Ceylon Innocent Pink and Inside Colour Rainbow Crystal/Salmon lined, in sizes 11/0 and 15/0, as well as Toho Magatama 3mm in Ceylon Innocent Pink colour. All metal parts made of sterling silver.

Snow rose

Winter is but a memory, but I only recently had time to wrap cabochon I bought some three months back. I'm a lazy bum (basically) and I had to restock more Toho colours.
I keep on lacking in them :P

It turned out a bit experimental, since I beaded a rose for a first time (based on THIS amazing pattern. I love biser :D) and then I decided to string beads for the necklace in a quite chaotic way. But I do like the effect.
A few close-ups:

I used Toho Round seed beads in 11/0 and 15/0 sizes and in Silver Lined Milky Montana Blue and Inside Color Crystal/Snow lined colours. Metal elements in silver colour.
Necklace is almost 21 inches in length, the pendant is 2 inches long and 1,5 inches in diameter.
