The only materials required for this bracelet are 11/0 seed beads, small or medium drilled chips, and a lobster claw clasp. I found it is good to use 2 colors of seed beads, one for the main bracelet netting, and one that is the same color as the chips (or clear). In the green gold piece, I had a smaller lobster claw clasp, so I adjusted the pattern slightly to make the other end with a 6/0 bead in the middle to put a jump ring through for the lobster claw clasp to connect to. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

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!

This is my latest design, featuring a diamond shaped pendant on an embellished Superduo chain. The pattern requires 11/0 seed beads, Superduo or twin beads (2.5 x 5mm), 4mm beads, and one 8mm bead or crystal for the center of the pendant. 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 really enjoyed experimenting with different color combinations in this design, and was especially happy with how well the light-aqua silver-lined seed beads complimented the black hematite Superduos. I’ve tried black hematite with different colors in the past, but this is by far my favorite compliment to black hematite yet. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!

This is an earring pattern that coordinates with the Lorraine Necklace design in my last post. Like the necklace, it also requires 11/0 seed beads, 4mm pearls or crystals, 6mm & 8mm pearls (or round beads), and Superduo or twin beads. A 6/0 or 8/0 bead is used at the top to attach the earring to an ear hook or clip with a jump ring. If you choose to use 4mm crystals that are not bicone (i.e. like the black/gold piece below, where the crystals are more oval), a slight adjustment to the pattern is needed. If using oval crystals, then at steps 5 and 6 where you see 2 seed beads in a row, use only one. Below the picture is a list of materials I used in the three pieces shown. I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
