Sunset Cinema necklace found its inspiration from a picture entitled Sunset Cinema. Hence the name. But strangely enough, the colours do somehow feel like a sunset cinema!
Sunset Cinema, beaded crochet necklace (CH0401)
This amazingly bright, amazingly happy necklace can be worn with the happy dangle-pendant or worn more sedately, without.
Notice that petite Swarovski rose montees as well as Swarovski crystal beads have also been crochet-integrated into the necklace. They are worked in at the time of the crochet and not just sewn on later.

Brief DIY Construction Notes on Sunset Cinema Necklace
This section is for those who might be interested in what happens behind the scenes.
This beaded crochet necklace has the following characteristics:
- Toho 8/0 (mainly) intermixed with Miyuki Drops (2.5mm) and Swarovski Crystal Rose montees. They are all crocheted in at the same time.
- 8 beads per row; 196 rows => 10mm diameter rope
- graphing software: jBeads

Note:
For the sections that have drop beads, if the drop beads do not go all round the rows (i.e. one side has mostly drop beads and other side has normal seed beads) then the crochet rope will curve. The drop beads side will be bulkier (hence, longer) and cause the rope to curve inwards, away from the drop beads.
The fancy S-clasp and jump rings are handmade.
The cap ends have 11mm inner hole diameter.
The S-clasp is made from 16gauge non-tarnish brass.
The heavy jump rings are made with 15 gauge heavy copper wire.
