This design was inspired by the Pantone color of the year- Classic Blue. I love how the seed bead clusters in varying shades of blue & pink really make the lapis nugget on the bottom pop!

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Lapis Faceted Rice
  • Gold Chain
  • Gold Headpins
  • Gold 3mm jump rings
  • Gold Earwire
  • Gold wire (24 or 26 gauge)
  • Assorted Seed Beads
  • Round Nose Pliers
  • Wire Cutters

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Make a bead charm with a lapis nugget & a headpin. Attach the charm to 4 links of chain with a jump ring. Make a bead link with a seed bead and attach directly to the chain. Attach the top of the link to 2 links of chain. Make another bead link with a seed bead and attach directly to the chain. Attach the top of the link to 2 more links of chain. Slide the top of the chain onto an earwire.

Step

Step 2

Make bead charms with the seed beads & crystal. I made 10 charms with the grapefruit 6/0 seed bead and 25-30 charms with the 15/0 beads.

Step

Step 3

Slide 3 charms onto a jump ring and attach the jump ring to the chain. Repeat all the way down the chain and the loop of the earwire.
