Use 8/0, 11/0, and 15/0 seed beads, Dragon Thread, wire guards, pear drop beads, PieDuo beads, and bicones. Learn to build a foundational structure, embellish with briolettes and pear drops, and secure the design with wire guards and a clasp. Experiment with alternate bead shapes, colors, or gemstones to create personalized variations of the Indira Necklace.
Gather Materials:
Beads: 8/0, 11/0, and 15/0 seed beads, oval nuggets, PieDuo beads, and pear drop beads.
Additional Supplies: Dragon Thread (5 feet), wire guards, lobster clasp, and briolette drops. Tools: Beading needle, scissors, and optional pliers.
Prepare the Thread:
Thread 5 feet of Dragon Thread onto a beading needle. Tie a stop bead at one end to anchor your work.
Create the Baseline:
Thread a repeating pattern of 15/0 seed bead, 8/0 seed bead, and crystal. Continue the pattern for 6 inches.
Add the Centerpiece:
Insert an oval nugget to serve as the focal point. Repeat the baseline pattern for another 6 inches.
Attach the Wire Guards:
Add a wire guard to each end of the baseline. Secure the lobster clasp to one wire guard and leave the other end for extension.
Embellish the Necklace:
Add briolette drops and pear drops around the nuggets for dimension. Use 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to attach and secure the drops symmetrically.
Reinforce the Design:
Thread back through the entire necklace, tightening gaps and ensuring durability.
Finish and Adjust: Secure all loose threads and trim excess. Attach extension chains or additional findings if desired.
