The dangling long beads at the bottom are held in place with Loop Tatted Rings. 11Frivole has made a very good video to show how to do the Loop Tatted Ring.
The rest of the necklace used techniques such as a bead inside a ring, Josephine Chains, and I also encircled a ring around a chain. To tat a ring that encircles a previously tatted chain you need to plan for it by wrapping the thread around the chain twice before winding the shuttle. Similar to the way that I put a ring around a metal split ring jewelry finding before I discovered split ring pliers - and of course the pliers can't be used in this instance.All in all, it seems that to make tatting look "primitive" some highly sophisticated techniques need to be used. But, I enjoyed the practice, and I'm pleased with how the design turned out. It's not a style that will appeal to everyone, but it's definitely unique.

Wow. I like it! And I like those cool and unusual techniques you used to achieve your effects. You've taken tatted jewellery to new frontiers!
This looks great for Thanksgiving and even casual clothes, I like how you made adjustable size for this. I will have to check out the loop thing as well. Now how do I try it on :)
Thanks, everyone! I really didn't think many people would like this one.
Love it! Great work
You said in your post that you don't think this will appeal to everyone but it DOES appeal to me! This necklace is amazing. Well done!!
A very interesting look. Pretty cool! I love the way the 'chain' attaches to the pods.
Gorgeous! Very eye-catching!
