Deveti Rivoli Pendant Pattern

Category:

Jewelry

Type:

Pendant

Skill Level:

Intermediate

Basic Skills Necessary:

right angle weave
ability to control thread tension

Pattern Description:

Create a fabulously rich multi-layered pendant beginning with a rivoli and then adding layers of embellishment, colour and texture. Pick a monochromatic palette for deep and subtle complexity, or choose contrasts galore for explosive bling!

While you don't really have to be super-proficient at right angle weave specifically, you do need to have some beading experience as the thread paths may be awkward to conceive for beginning beaders, and you must be able to control your thread tension since the domed shape requires tight tension to draw the beads together.
