    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all the beads, thread, and tools listed in the materials section. Create the Base Pattern: Start by threading the IrisDuo, StormDuo, and RounDuo Mini beads in a specific order to form a star shape. Repeat this pattern five times to complete the circle. Form the Bezel: Tie the beads into a loop and begin threading through the outer holes of the IrisDuo beads to form the bezel for the Rivoli crystal. Add Seed Beads and Bugles: Weave in Miyuki seed beads and bugles to secure the Rivoli in place, tightening the design as you go. Embellish the Pendant: Continue adding seed beads around the StormDuo beads to create a decorative edge. Create the Chain: Use seed beads and bugles to create a simple chain, threading it through the top of the pendant. Finish the Design: Tie off any remaining thread and secure it by burning the ends. Your evening pendant is now ready to wear!

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!

    I had a fun & easy shopping experience. I found everything that I want for now!

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
