Necklace pattern?

[cameronangel.livejournal.com]

My sister wants me to make her a necklace for her birthday. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the type of necklace she wants but it looks sorta like

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
     xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
       xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        xxxxxxxxxxx     
         xxxxxxxxx
           xxxxxxx
            xxxxx
              xxx
               x
  
If you know the name of this design, or have instructions/a pattern of how to bead this, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks!
