Do you dig the vintage look? I’m not talking about bell-bottoms and polyester suits here. I’m talking about gorgeous lace jewelry that you can wear with almost anything.
Don’t be intimidated by the intricacy of lace jewelry. Lace designs range from basic weaving stitches to more advanced stitches like netting stitch, so you can make it no matter what your level of beading experience.

Queen Margaret’s Beaded Lace Necklace
Don’t shy away from this project, beginner beaders. You can complete this in just a few hours — maybe even less if you’re more advanced. Designer VanBeads based this on an antique pattern, and its roots are obvious. This would be perfect for a special occasion, but I’d be tempted to wear it with a basic T-shirt and jeans, too!

Beaded Fancy Lace Ring
The great thing about ring projects is that they’re super quick to complete. Keep them on your list of holiday gifts to make and you’ll whip through several of these in one night! There’s some cross-beading involved that requires working with two needles at once, but step-by-step photos will help you through it.

Figaro Catena Beaded Lace Bracelet
This is another great example of a piece of jewelry that looks super fancy, but is actually wearable with casual clothes, too. Still not convinced? Try making the bracelet in different colors to see if that makes it easier to wear with your business casual clothes.

Beadwoven Lace Ribbon Bracelet
I love that this bracelet can be worn as a single strand or double strand. Swarovski bicones give it a little extra sparkle — something we can all use!

Moonlace Bracelet
This gorgeous bracelet looks like it belongs stitched to a gown at the Oscars. While the pattern includes diagrams to go along with the instructions, this netting stitch requires a bit of beading experience.
