STARFLOWER PENDANT AND ORNAMENT

©2017 Deborah Roberti

Break out your big 18mm rivolis to make this variation of my Starflower Bracelet and Starflower Necklace design for an eye-catching pendant or decorative ornament. Step-by-step instructions included for creating a bezel using the peyote stitch to hold the rivoli. Fire-polished beads, two-hole diamond beads (GemDuo or DiamonDuo beads) and seed beads are then added around this rivoli base.

Stitch: Various

Beads Used: Size 11/0 Miyuki Delica beads, size 11/0 and 8/0 Japanese seed beads, two-hole Czech diamond beads (DiamonDuo or GemDuo), 3mm fire-polished beads and an 18mm Swarovski rivoli (18mm round Lunasoft cabs also work well)

Approx Finished Size: About 2 inches square, not including findings

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.
