Gather Materials:
RounDuo Minis. 14mm Rivoli. 8/0, 11/0, and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (black if using a dark Rivoli). Wire guards and earring hooks.
Create the Base:
Thread five RounDuo Minis, each separated by an 8/0 seed bead. Tie them into a loop to form the base for the star design.
Add the First Layer:
Use Herringbone Stitch to add four 11/0 seed beads between the 8/0 beads. Repeat for all five sections, forming the initial star shape.
Step Up and Add More Layers:
Move to the outer holes of the RounDuo Minis. Add additional 11/0 seed beads to build the structure outward.
Create Petal Prongs:
Attach nine 15/0 seed beads in a loop at each point of the star. Secure each loop with an 8/0 seed bead and reinforce.
Set the Rivoli:
Place the 14mm Rivoli in the center of the design. Use loops of 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to secure the Rivoli tightly.
Attach the Wire Guard:
Thread through the topmost bead and attach the wire guard. Secure the guard to the earring hook.
Reinforce and Finish:
Reinforce all loops and tighten the thread. Trim excess thread and ensure the design is symmetrical.

Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
