I used the pattern "LOVELY LACE" by Jaycee at www,jayceepatterns.com 
I purchased both the necklace and bracelet patterns and gave them both a try!  I found the pattern very easy to complete with the few modifications that I made.  I decided not to do the SPIRAL ROPE for the necklace and decided to do just a quick beading using the same beads and added some 6m silver daisy spacers between the 6m pearls and added a toggle clasp to finish.  I also spaced out the fans a bit more as I found them too close together for my taste.  I added an 11/0, 3m pearl, 4x6m pearl, 3m pearl and 11/0 between each fan.  I really love the vintage look and have made this pattern already in Blue, Lavender and Rose! 

The bracelet was generally made by the pattern but I changed the clasp to a toggle clasp to match the necklace and added the V shape at each end so I could do the toggle clasp finish.  I was never a fan of those 3 and 4 flat clasp closures.  

You could also make the matching fan earrings,  but I'm a lazy beader and just made a beaded pair which still looks quite nice and quick to make!
