Repeat this pattern to complete the decorative circle. Step 3: Add round Duos, going through both holes and connecting with seed beads, while maintaining the RAW structure. Step 4: Use the increase/decrease technique with seed beads to add a 3D effect around the pendant. Step 5: Continue adding embellishments, ensuring symmetry and balance around the pendant. Step 6: Assemble the necklace with jump rings, adding the cabochon component and attaching a bail or jump ring for a necklace chain. Final Assembly: Slide the finished pendant onto your chain or beaded necklace and secure it with jump rings.
