Initial Setup:
Start by preparing about 10 feet of beading thread on a size 12 needle, creating a stop bead at one end.
Begin stringing with round trio beads, alternating with beam beads, and incorporating 8/0, 11/0, and 15/0 seed beads according to the pattern described in the video.
Creating the Rope Sides:
Use the round trio beads and beam beads to form the sides of the necklace, following a specific pattern of seed beads to connect each bead.
Forming the Triangular Flags:
Create triangular shapes using the beam beads in a pattern that alternates between dark plum metallic suede and bronze colors, accentuated with seed beads for added detail.
Attaching the Clasp:
Conclude the necklace by attaching a cut button clasp, optionally enhanced with a crystal rivoli for added sparkle.
Finishing Touches:
Add decorative touches to the round trio beads and ensure all ends are secure.
