Quick Project Steps

Start with creating a base for the cabochon using RounDuo Mini Beads and 11/0 seed beads. Form an initial circle and secure the beads, ensuring a tight and even structure. Employ right angle weave techniques in the center, coming out of the RounDuo Mini. Continue the weaving process, methodically adding beads to the structure for design enhancement. Develop the ring's design further, focusing on the aesthetic and fit. Apply the final touches, making sure the ring has a polished and refined appearance.

When you are looking at your cart, it would be helpful if the back button would put you back on the same page in the search results that you last were on. Instead, it has you go back to page 1 in your search. I always have to remember which page I was on when I want to view my cart. I go back and forth quite often, and it is annoying. Also, I was looking for storm duos in a real red, a real dark blue, and a dark teal. Didn't find any of those colors. I look for these colors a lot in purchasing other types of beads, too, and your site doesn't offer very many choices if any at all.
