Amazing rose gold tones and a fabulous netted pattern make this necklace gleam like a royal treasure. Crystal bicones and pearls really dazzle in this design, creating glints and gleams from every angle. This would make a stunning bridal necklace or an eye-catching piece for a fancy night out.
In order to create this necklace, you will create the fringed section first and then build toward the back on each side to get the right fit. Use KO beading thread or FireLine. Thread your needle with a comfortable working length of thread. You can double this length and leave half of it as a tail to use on one side of the necklace later if you like. Add a stopper bead to the thread. If you run out of thread while working and need to start a new thread, please see our note about adding thread in Step 8.
Go back through the last 3mm pearl added.
Go through the 3mm bicone from the previous row. This will start the netted pattern. Add the following:
Go through the 4mm bicone from the previous row.
Go through the existing 4mm pearl in the previous row. Add five 11/0 beads to the thread, one 3mm bicone and three 11/0 beads. Go through the existing 3mm pearl in the previous row and then add three 11/0 beads, one 3mm pearl and one 15/0 bead. You are now back up at the top edge. Continue this pattern of working from top to bottom for a total of 15 bicone pendant drop sections. Make sure to end at the top edge.
Now go through the 4mm pearl from the previous row and continue the netted pattern to work toward the top again. Repeat this pattern until you have about eight pearl sections at the bottom edge. On you last section, after going through the existing 4mm pearl, do not add more beads. Instead, weave through the existing beads up to the next 3mm pearl. Stop here for now and leave the thread intact.
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!
