Start with threading your needle and organizing your gemstones and beads.
Begin the necklace by adding a stop bead to your thread, followed by the pattern of crystal-11-crystal before adding a gemstone.
For the sides of each gemstone, use a pattern of two 11/0 seed beads, a pearl, an 11/0, another pearl, and two more 11/0 seed beads.
Continue adding gemstones and repeating the side pattern, varying the design as desired with different beads or arrangements.
Once you reach the desired length, tie off the ends, reinforcing the thread through the entire necklace for added strength.
Apply a dab of glue to secure the knots and trim any excess thread.
