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!

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!
