Quick Project Steps

Thread the needle with about 5 feet of beading thread, securing a stop bead at one end.
Begin the necklace by stringing a crystal bicone flanked by two silver Miyuki seed beads, followed by a gold seed bead, four silver seed beads, and another gold bead.
Add a faceted rondelle bead, ensuring to alternate between gold and silver seed beads for aesthetic consistency.
Continue the pattern, creating a zigzag effect by weaving back through certain beads to form triangles.
Reinforce the clasp by attaching it with wire protectors, ensuring durability and a professional finish.
Repeat the pattern, maintaining tension in the thread for a clean, tight weave until reaching the desired length.
Finish the necklace by securing and trimming the thread, then attaching the clasp and extension chain as desired.
