The August Chaton Earrings tutorial guides viewers through creating a stunning pair of earrings featuring a bezeled SS28 (6mm) chaton, RounDuos, and various sizes of seed beads. The design starts with anchoring the chaton diagonally using thread and builds outwards with a symmetrical layout of RounDuos and seed beads. The project is perfect for confident beginners and intermediate beaders, offering practice in structured beading, thread control, and clean finishing. Optional drop bead accents allow for personal customization.
Add a Stop Bead:
Begin with a stop bead to secure the thread while working.
Anchor the Chaton:
Use a diagonal stitch path to create an “X” that holds the chaton in place within the setting.
Add RounDuos and 8/0 Beads:
Stitch around the chaton using RounDuos with 8/0 seed beads in between each one.
Embellish Between RounDuos:
Fill the gaps with a 15/0 – 8/0 – 15/0 bead pattern between the RounDuos.
Second Hole Connection:
Pass through the second holes of the RounDuos and continue to reinforce the frame.
Optional: Add a Bottom Drop:
If desired, add a hanging bead or dangle at the base for extra flair.
Add Top Detail:
Stitch up and embellish the top with additional seed beads to complete the shape.
Attach Wire Guard:
Loop a wire guard at the top, going through seed beads to reinforce the thread path.
Secure and Finish:
Tie off the thread, melt the ends with a thread burner, and attach the ear wire to complete your earring.
