Dress up a stone donut with a delicate fringe of leaves and blossoms. For variety, play with color and the strap. Though it looks extravagant, this necklace is actually easier to make than it appears. The peyote-stitched bezel is created by decreasing the size of the beads that are used, making for a smooth finish.
