Prepare Materials: Gather piggy beads, silky beads, seed beads, crystals, and thread.
Starting Loop: Thread an 11/0 seed bead, piggy bead (through the center hole), silky bead (through the bottom hole), and repeat, tying into a loop.
Back Detailing: Add 11/0 seed beads and crystals around the back, stepping up through the beads to create a layered look.
Front Detailing: Create a picot trim on the front by adding groups of three 11/0 seed beads, connecting them to create a detailed edge.
Center Embellishment: Add crystals between the seed bead groupings to highlight the pendant's center.
Finishing Touches: Add a wire guard for hanging the pendant, reinforcing the thread path for durability.
