    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a Bezel: Begin by encasing an 8mm ChatOn crystal using Delica beads. Add 15/0 Seed Beads: Integrate the first round of 15/0 seed beads, connecting them and pushing towards the center. Insert the ChatOn Crystal: Place the crystal in the bezel and secure it by reinforcing the bead structure. Incorporate GemDuos: Add GemDuo beads, ensuring they face up, between each Delica bead. Embellish with Fire Polish Beads: Connect the GemDuos using 15/0 seed beads and add fire polish beads for extra flair. Complete the Outer Layer: Work on the final touches of the outer layer with careful bead placement. Reinforce and Knot: Strengthen the earring structure by reinforcing the beads and securing with knots. Attach the Earring Wire: Finish by attaching the earring wire, forming a teardrop shape at the top for an elegant look.

    I had a hard time navigating your web site. Took too long to find everything I was looking for. When I go into the search bar I expect to have that item come up. Specifically I was looking for miniduo beads. This is the first time I've ordered from you. We'll see how it goes.
