Paper bead necklaces

I strung some of my beads onto some fine beadalon wire, and used sterling silver for the bead charms. Crimp beads as separators and I have a pretty and delicate looking necklace. I also made a chunkier one of five rows.
The only thing about them is that I suspect the multistrand one especially won't stand up to much perspiration. Perhaps they should be fall/winter necklaces or only worn for brief periods in airconditioned spaces!

Which one were you interested in?
