Seed bead rings are so fun to make because you can wear them with anything and they work up quickly. Cynthia created a brick stitch diamond shape with TOHO Treasure seed beads for the center of this ring and then used the peyote stitch technique to make the band. If you want to see even more ideas for creating cool rings for your style, make sure to check out this Artbeads Cafe episode.
To start the brick stitch, make a ladder stitch following the color pattern outlined in the Blue Ice PDF Diagram. We are starting with the widest point of the diamond focal. Cynthia used TOHO Treasure 11/0 seed beads in galvanized aluminum, inside-color luster crystal/opaque aqua-lined, and transparent-lustered teal.

Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
