Thread back through the navette and pick up another three pearls with seed beads to surround the Potomac crystal navette. Add another pear surrounded by seed beads to each side to nestle them in by the crystal.

    Attach the wire guard to the top, bring the thread down to the stop bead. Remove the bead and tie the ends together. Burn the loose ends down and attach the earwire.
