Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF instructional diagram for this design! Using two colors of seed beads seems to work best: one that matches the center crystal and either gold or silver for the borders. In most cases I chose crystals that matched the center Rivoli crystal, but the green example came out nicely with different but complementary colors. This component is versatile, and can be used as a pendant, earrings, or bracelet center. You can even connect multiple components together into a necklace or connect one or more components with multiple strands. Have fun experimenting with color and connection combinations – I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
Each component requires 11/0 TOHO seed beads (2 colors), 14mm Rivoli crystal, and twelve 3x4mm rondelle crystals, plus two 6/0 seed beads and jump rings to connect bail, ear hooks, or bracelet strands. I used about 2 meters/yards of 6-lb Fireline with a size 11 beading needle to make each component.
