Enjoy a free video tutorial to go with the PDF diagram for this design! I absolutely love how this necklace turned out. This design took a while to work out the right spacing for everything, but the result is gorgeous… and one of my favorites. And now I’m sharing it with you all for free! I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern.
Materials
For this Necklace, you will need superduos (in two colors), 11/0 and 8/0 TOHO seed beads, 4mm and 6mm crystals (round or bicone), and a clasp to connect with jump rings. A 16-inch necklace (15.5-inch without the clasp) will require eleven 4mm crystals and twelve 6mm crystals. For a longer necklace, you will need one more 4mm and 6mm crystal per inch (approximately). These are the colors used in the examples below:

I made this using your pattern with clear emerald colored superduos, and copper colored seed beads. It came out really pretty! I could see it on an Irish princess.
