Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! This is an earring design to match the Imperial Bracelet from my last post. Like the bracelet, I liked seed bead colors that contrast the crystal but are similar to each other for the different size seed beads (like light gold 11/0 and dark gold 6/0 seed beads). I also liked bright translucent colors for the crystals to sparkle and reflect light. This earring can be made in a shorter version (not pictured). Either the regular version (pictured) or shorter variation can be made without the 3x4mm rondelle crystals if you only have the 6x8mm rondelle crystals on hand. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
For these earrings you will need 11/0 and 6/0 seed beads, two 6x8mm rondelle crystals, two 3x4mm rondelle crystals (optional), and jump rings to connect ear hooks. I used about 1 meter/yard of 6-lb Fireline with a size 10 beading needle to make each earring.
