Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
Potomac Crystal Rivoli 14mm - Magic Orchid, 3 Pieces
Preciosa Chatons SS39 - Celsian, 6 Pieces
Potomac Crystal Rondelles 3x4mm - Dark Garnet AB, ~ 13 Pieces
Miyuki Seed Beads 15/0 - Silver Lined Root Beer, ~ 3 Grams

Step-By-Step Instructions

Preparation: Gather all materials. Cut approximately 5 feet of beading thread, threading your needle.
Bezeling Chatons: Start by making bezels for your chatons using four two-hole brick beads and 15/0 seed beads. Create a secure base, then add seed beads to form a bezel, securing the chaton.
Bezeling Rivolis: Similar to chatons, but adjust the count of two-hole brick beads to eight for each rivoli. Follow a similar process to create a bezel, securing each rivoli.
Assembly: Design the layout of your bezelled components. Use seed beads and Potomac Crystal Rondelles as spacers between each component.
Finishing Touches: Complete the necklace by adding a clasp using a Potomac Crystal Button. Ensure to reinforce the thread paths for durability.
Final Check: Ensure all knots are secure and trim any excess thread.
