Cool necklace

This is a necklace I want. I've been eyeing it to figure out how to make it but haven't figured it out. I would buy it if it weren't for the fact that it is...$3600!!!!! I know my eyes popped out of my head too. None the less I am left to just look at this picture.
I've taken up trying to make jewelery. I've made some nice ones and deconstructed some not so nice ones as I figure it out. I think I got hooked on necklaces when I started watching Bones on Fox. The main character always wears cool necklaces. I will have to put some of those pictures on here. :)
