The warmth of your skin releases the beads rich musky rose scent. In an enamel saucepan put one pound red rose petals, just covering with water. Heat gently for one hour but do not allow to boil. Cover and let stand over night, repeating the process three more times. On the fourth day the petals and water will be reduced to a smooth paste, take a small amount and roll it between your palms forming beads a inch in diameter. Pierce each one with a needle for stringing, let the beads dry on newspaper in a warm closet. Thread the beads onto silk thread for your necklace. These beads will last for years, retaining their fragrance and turning a polished red sienna color.
