Start by threading 12 StormDuo beads, all facing the same direction, to form a circle.
Tie a knot to secure them in a loop and step up to the top hole of the same bead your thread is coming out of.
Add a new layer of StormDuo beads, picking them up in the opposite direction, and weave through the second hole of the previous row's beads.
After completing the second layer, add 12 3mm round beads, placing a 15/0 seed bead on either side of each round bead.
To finish, create a loop with 15/0 seed beads for attaching the ear wires. Secure and trim the thread.

Waiting to see quality of pearls before deciding. I usually purchase Swarovski. Made earrings using the pearls. Only drawback was that there was minor chipping or cracking around the outbound drill holes on about 10% of the pearls. The heft, weight and luster were all as good as Swarovski. Bottom line, I was very pleased and will order them again as needed.
I was grateful to find my last order was still on file -- credit card issues made me wait to finish the order. I'm glad the info was still there so I could finally place the order.
