One more design for the holidays! I was curious how superduo beads would look on a “coraled” pendant, and I love how it turned out! They resemble tri-petal florets on the end of each coral branch, and look great with either two accent colors or one. This design requires only TOHO 11/0 seed beads (two to three colors) and superduo beads (one or two accent colors).
In the red/green piece, I used a base color of silver (Permafinish galvanized aluminum TOHO 11/0) with two accent colors of red and green (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors). In the purple/rose-gold piece I used a rose-gold base color with one accent color of purple (requiring purple seed and superduo beads). The last aqua/white piece was made with smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, but the thread showed a little more on the chain part of the necklace, so I feel TOHO seed beads work slightly better with this design. The aqua/white color scheme did not have a base color – instead I just alternated the 2 colors (requiring matching seed and superduo beads in both colors).

I love this design. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love this pattern but when I try to print out the diagram it comes out with a black background which completely obscures the printed instructions. What am I doing wrong?
