Spiral Beading Stitch

Can you help me with my hemp necklace dilemma?
Well I just recently purchased a glass bead that was specially blown for me from this merchant. It is a pretty glass spiral pendant with rainbow colored hues throughout it. The colors do not move in the same order as the rainbow, but have a fairly random order to it. It’s very soft colored and pretty – also is two inches long.
I decided to use a double stitch spiral hemp technique pattern on a natural colored hemp to form the hemp necklace, but what I am not sure of is whether or not to have additional beads on the necklace. If so, then I am not sure what color bead. The pendant is fairly big – the size of an average male’s pinky finger.
So what do you think I should do? Add other beads? If so, what kind and color. And if not then why not? Thanks a bunch.
add like a silver shiny bead on each side .
or just use the pendant.
it sounds cool.
i love glass blown stuff,,one time we were walking down the street and this glass blower guy gave me a free bead he made .haha i loved it,but i lost it:(
