    Quick Project Steps

    Start the Bezel: Begin with a stop bead and thread 24 11/0 seed beads in your chosen color. Form a circle by passing back through the stop bead and several other beads. Tighten the circle to start the bezel for the cabochon. Add Prongs: Pick up three 11/0 seed beads and loop around every six beads of your circle to create prongs. Ensure the prongs sit snugly on the circle for a secure hold. Construct Herringbone Petals: Work on the original 24-bead circle. Use a herringbone stitch technique, adding two seed beads at a time and changing colors to create a gradient effect. Finish each petal with a crystal and a 15/0 seed bead to secure it. Incorporate Czech Daggers: Attach daggers between each herringbone petal for a floral effect. Thread through each petal to secure the daggers in place. Embellishing and Finalizing: Embellish the center and edges with additional seed beads and crystals for a sparkling effect. Attach the earring post to the back of the beadwork, ensuring it's centered and secure. Finish off by tying and cutting the thread, then attaching earring backs.
