Here is an earring pattern that coordinates nicely with the Laguna Necklace from my last post.  Same as the necklace, this pattern requires 11/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top of each earring for connecting a jump ring), Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of each earring. The pattern can be done using only one color of seed beads (like the dark gold/orange/turquoise piece, or the green/purple/aqua piece), or two colors of seed beads (like the black hematite/light aqua piece, the gold/clear/green piece, or the light blue/lavender/silver piece). I found this design works wonderfully in a variety of color combinations. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

Beautiful!!!
Très joli patron. Merci
I wonder if you could perhaps give a brief explanation of exactly how that turn goes into the necklace portion. I think I have it but it does not look quite right. Thank you for the pattern. It is for my daughter’s wedding jewelry. She loves it.
