ANTIQUE EARRINGS & PENDANT
©2010, updated 2021 Deborah Roberti
These earrings and pendant are made by first creating a bezel using the peyote stitch to hold the rivoli. Next you'll use netting and right-angle weave to add bicone crystals, fire-polished beads and seed beads around this peyote rivoli base. The pattern is fully illustrated with detailed step-by-step instructions. It matches the Antique Necklace. NEW IN 2021: Included instructions for adding top-drilled and vertical-drilled drop beads.
Stitch: Peyote, netting, right-angle weave
Beads Used: Size 11/0 Miyuki or Toho seed beads, size 15/0 Miyuki seed beads, Miyuki Delica beads, 4mm bicone crystals, 3mm fire-polished beads, 12mm rivolis and optional top-drilled or vertical-drilled drop beads.
Approx Finished Size: About .875 inches wide and 1.5 inches long (not including findings or drop beads)

Beads used in my photos NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
