Dove of peace My first Etsy Beadweavers Challenge entry

Decembers theme of the challenge were both "Peace" and "Winter Olympic games". I thought how to combine these all and create beadwoven necklace ( because I'm a very necklace person).
So I ended up with 5 different designs including symbols of peace and Olympics but stopped on the last one which you can see now.
I think I could reflect both components in it: Dove as symbol of world peace and clear-silvery colour reminds snow we need so much for Winter Olympics.
"Dove of peace" is very elegant and delicate necklace I wanted to create after a month of hard work at 2 huge bead embroidered necklaces.
It's my first attempt to work with Swarovski Rivoli and I absolutely enjoyed it.
Again St Petersburg's chain for basic elements love it a lot as well.
Clear silver lined inside seed beads are Czech and Japanese and Silver galvanized Toho.
