VINTAGE ANTIQUE JEWELRY

how many beads to I need when making a double strand necklace?

My actual problem is the number for the second (outer) strand. For example, if I use 40 beads for the first (inner) strand, how many beads would I need for the second strand? I plan on using multi-strand spacers to bridge between first and second strands.

Wigjig is a very helpful site for info like this.
