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!

Here is a design for earrings to coordinate with the Palace Pearls necklace pattern from my last post. This is a nice simple design that is quick to make, requiring only 4mm and 6mm pearls, 4mm crystals, and 11/0 seed beads (plus a 6/0 or 8/0 seed bead at the top for a jump ring). I made the gold/white/aqua version below using smaller Czech 11/0 seed beads, and the green/bronze version with larger TOHO 11/0 beads, and the pattern works equally well with either.

This design took a bit of trial and error to work through, but I am very happy with the end result. It is a fairly simple pattern to make, and requires 4mm and 6mm pearls, 4mm bicone crystals, and 11/0 seed beads. I made this design with both the smaller Czech 11/0 beads (the gold, aqua, and ivory version shown below) as well as larger TOHO 11/0 beads (bronze and green version), and although the design works with either, I think the smaller Czech 11/0 beads look a bit better. The close-up photo of both necklaces provides a good example of how different Czech and TOHO 11/0 bead sizes really are. I plan to include a pattern for matching earrings in my next post. Enjoy!

This is one of my original designs made entirely out of 11/0 seed beads and different size pearls (4mm, 6mm, and 8mm). The piece below was made with teal blue pearls with silver metallic and teal 11/0 seed beads, but I have included other photos showing of another version of it, which I made shorter (almost choker length) with ivory pearls and iris brown and gold metallic 11/0 seed beads. I love how both color combinations turned out. This pattern is relatively simple to make, and one of my favorites. Enjoy!
