FREE beading pattern for Rondelle Radiance Necklace

This is the last post in my “Rondell Radiance” series, where I challenged myself to design a matching bracelet, earrings, and necklace set using a single package of rondelle crystals of different sizes.

After the Rondelle Radiance Bracelet and Earrings from my last 2 posts, I had 17 8x10mm, 3 6x8mm, 15 4x6mm, and 4 3x4mm rondelle crystals left to work with.

This necklace design requires all of the 8x10mm and 4x6mm rondelles I had left, so the only left-over crystals after this challenge are three 6x8mm and four 3x4mm rondelles… not bad! This necklace also requires 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads plus a lobster clasp and two jump rings at both ends. This design makes a 17″ necklace, but can be extended by including more of diamond-shaped “chain” links at the beginning and end.

This necklace design is made in 2 rows, but even making it with only the first row looks nice too.

Since I did not make a bracelet for the bronze/cream piece, I had extra 3x4mm rondelles to include a variation on the first row of the necklace (using 16 3x4mm rondelles instead of the 8/0 seed beads).

Both variations look nice. I hope you enjoy this design series, and this free beading pattern!
