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!

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.

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.
