Enjoy a step-by-step video tutorial to accompany the free PDF download for this design. These earrings are designed to coordinate with the Geneva Bracelet from my last post. I love the way this design has a visually interesting “swirl” to it. This design is versatile in that you can use any 11/0 round seed bead (Czech or TOHO), any 4mm bead (round, bicone, crystal, or pearl), and the component can make a nice pendant as well. The end of the video tutorial shows how you can connect this component to two longer Geneva Bracelet components to make a necklace (pictured below and modelled in the end of the short demo video below). I hope you enjoy this free beading pattern!
Materials
Like the Geneva Bracelet, this piece requires round 11/0 seed bead (TOHO or Czech), 4mm beads (pearls, round crystals, bicones, etc.), and superduos. You will need sixteen 4mm beads (8 per earring). I use about 2 feet of 6-lb Fireline as the thread for each earring. The white/gold piece was made with TOHO seed beads, and the rest with Czech. See my previous post for the Geneva Bracelet for a complete list of materials used in the pieces pictured below.
