Solarium Pendant Tutorial

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:

Pewter chain rings (29mm) for the pendant's structure.

14mm Rivoli.

Delica beads for bezeling around the Rivoli.

Seed beads sizes 15/0 and 11/0 for additional decoration and securing the Rivoli.

Wildfire beading thread (0.006) and size 10 or 12 beading needle.

Thread burner for finishing thread ends.

Jump rings for attaching the pendant to a chain or as part of earrings.

Tools like needle nose pliers or flat nose pliers for opening/closing jump rings.

Start by attaching a stop bead to your thread, then sew through a chain ring hole, adding two Delica beads between each opening.
After completing the first round with Delica beads, add a third bead to each pair to create a fuller look around the ring.
Introduce 11/0 seed beads by sewing them in between the Delica bead pairs, securing the structure.
Begin the front bezel pattern by adding seven 15/0 seed beads in between select Delica beads, creating peaks around the ring.
Secure the 14mm Rivoli by creating a back bezel with 11/0 seed beads, ensuring the Rivoli is snugly enclosed.
For the chain, weave Delica and 11/0 seed beads through an 18-inch chain to match the pendant's aesthetic.
Finalize the pendant by attaching a jump ring for hanging.
