Materials Used To make The  Project

Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
Gemstones - Blue Fire Agate Rondelle Beads 5x8mm
Potomac Crystal Bicones 4mm - Light Sapphire AB
Miyuki Seed Beads 11/0 - Galvanized Gold
Miyuki Seed Beads 11/0 - Duracoat Galvanized Silver

Step-By-Step Instructions

Thread the needle with about 5 feet of beading thread, securing a stop bead at one end.
Begin the necklace by stringing a crystal bicone flanked by two silver Miyuki seed beads, followed by a gold seed bead, four silver seed beads, and another gold bead.
Add a faceted rondelle bead, ensuring to alternate between gold and silver seed beads for aesthetic consistency.
Continue the pattern, creating a zigzag effect by weaving back through certain beads to form triangles.
Reinforce the clasp by attaching it with wire protectors, ensuring durability and a professional finish.
Repeat the pattern, maintaining tension in the thread for a clean, tight weave until reaching the desired length.
Finish the necklace by securing and trimming the thread, then attaching the clasp and extension chain as desired.
