This is a lacy pattern I designed using Czech 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls, and twin beads. Either twin beads or Superduo beads will work with this pattern. (I used twin beads for the white, gold, and pink piece, and Superduo beads for the blue/silver and purple/grey pieces). I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post. Enjoy!

Here is a pattern for earrings that match the Royal Lace necklace from my last post. This design is basically composed of the same 2 components as the necklace (the 3-pearl component, and the diamond-shaped crystal component), but they are arranged vertically instead of horizontally. This pattern is made using Czech 11/0 seed beads, 4mm bicone crystals, and 4mm and 6mm pearls. Enjoy!

This pattern definitely takes some patience to make, but the end result is lovely. To make it, you need 11/0 Czech seed beads, 4mm crystals, and 4mm and 6mm pearls. The piece below was made using AB sapphire 4mm crystals, ivory pearls, and silver 11/0 Czech seed beads. The other example was made with copper seed beads, metallic copper crystals, and beige pearls. I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post. Enjoy!

I absolutely love this pendant pattern. You need a 14mm rivoli crystal, 4mm coordinating crystals and pearls, a drop bead, and two colors of 11/0 TOHO seed beads (Japanese 11/0 seed beads might also work, but not the smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads). Some of the examples below show variations on the drop part of this pendant, which you can experiment with yourself (or even omit if you like). As opposed to hanging this pendant on a chain, I decided to hang it on 1/4-inch ribbon, finished with crimp ends for clasp.
Note: If you have trouble with the beginning of the pattern, visit http://www.aroundthebeadingtable.com/Tutorials/PeyoteBezel.html, which has a more detailed picture and diagram tutorial of the same exact process depicted in steps 1 – 6 of this diagram.

This design uses 20mm pillow beads along with 4mm and 6mm round beads of natural stone (magnesite in this case), accented with 11/0 Czech copper seed beads and 4mm copper satin pearls. I love the way the natural stone looks in this piece. Enjoy!

I wanted to create an earring pattern that had some of the same colors and elements to match the Sophia Bracelet and Sophia Necklace in previous posts, and came up with something that uses the same 11/0 and 6/0 TOHO seed beads in what is mostly a Peyote stitch. Enjoy!

This is a variation on the bracelet pattern from my last post to create a matching necklace. The pattern requires 6/0 TOHO seed beads (3 colors) and 11/0 TOHO seed beads (1 color). The first two rows are nearly identical to the bracelet pattern, but the third row is different and allows the pattern to curve for a necklace. Enjoy!

The strand on the necklace of my last post was essentially a modified spiral rope stitch with an extra stabilization row to make it lie flat. I came up with a variation on the same concept using different size seed beads and a more decorative stabilization row to make a bracelet. This is my first bracelet pattern, but I like it so much I will probably create a matching necklace for it in my next post. I particularly enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations in this design. This is easy and quick to make, and requires only 6/0 TOHO seed beads (in 3 colors) and 11/0 TOHO seed beads (1 color, matching one of the 6/0 colors). Enjoy!

This pattern uses the coraling stitch, common in beading. But what is unique about this pattern is the strand that makes the V-shape that the coral strands are attached to. This strand is basically a modified spiral rope stitch with an extra stabilization row along the top to make it lie flat, and spaces on the bottom that are ideal for “sprouting” coral strands. For this piece, I used black and copper 11/0 seed beads, 15/0 black seed beads for the stabilization row, and different colored drilled chips (blue, green, purple, and orange) for the coraled strands.

I modified a component from the Crystal Lace necklace pattern from my last post to create a matching earring — I used the same beads for these earrings as the necklace, so you can refer to my previous post for more details on materials used. These are fairly quick to make. Enjoy!

This pattern requires 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls or druks, and 4mm bicone crystals, and is made in one continuous row. Either larger TOHO 11/0 beads or smaller Czech 11/0 beads work equally well in this design. I used bronze TOHO 11/0 seed beads, 4mm bronze druks, and metallic purple bicone crystals in the necklace below, and Czech 11/0 gold seed beads, white 4mm pearls, and 4mm Tanzanite AB bicone crystals in the other piece. I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post. Enjoy!

Enjoy a new video tutorial to accompany the free PDF diagram for this design. This “beaded lace” necklace is made in one continuous row and is fun for experimenting with different color combinations. The video tutorial shows a simple way to stitch the components, and a quicker (but trickier) way – use whichever technique you are most comfortable with. The diagram shows the latter technique. Either way, the thread path is the same. I imagine this pattern could work with larger 11/0 TOHO seed beads, but I only tried it with the smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads pictured. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
This necklace requires only 11/0 Czech seed beads, 4mm round crystals, and a lobster claw clasp. The lobster claw clasp is stitched into the necklace, and connects to a beaded loop, so there is no need for jump rings. 50 crystals will make about a 17-inch necklace. I use a size 10 beading needle and 6lb Fireline (approximately 6 yards, in three 2-yard segments). The video tutorial shows how to connect a new segment of thread to the old one.
