Lacy Diamonds Necklace Pattern

Category:

Jewelry

Type:

Necklace

Skill Level:

Beginner

Basic Skills Necessary:

Beadweaving techniques: 2-bead herringbone and right angle weave

Pattern Description:

Delicate medallions, suspended by a woven chain are what create this lovely long necklace. It is wrought of Toho's permanent finish galvanized silver seed beads, in three sizes and accented with genuine Swarovski crystal silver gray 4mm pearls.

No clasp, at 27 inches (68.5 cm) you can just throw it over your head and look gorgeous. It will fall to the middle of your chest.

The necklace is particularly pretty against a dark background and looks much more expensive than it is.

Level of difficulty: Suitable for an experienced beginner.

These instructions are very thorough, with step by step directions and clear illustrations to ensure your success. If you run into a snag or have a question, email me, I'll help if I can.
