Playing with my beads...Bollywood Earrings

  • 15/0 seed beads Miyuki "Dark Bronze" (457D)
  • 3mm bicones "Black" (Chinavoski)
  • 12mm Swarovski rivoli "Bermuda Blue"

Although I think they're very pretty, I've decided that they're not the earrings for me. I really like this new sample earring that I made yesterday but it looks very odd when I'm wearing it. All that I can see are the seed beads and the blue rivoli. All the black bicones become invisible against my dark hair. I will try to find a way to use the bezel because it's a very nice one and I haven't seen many bezel patterns for 12mm rivolis.

I haven't made any more samples of Sidonia's seed bead earrings/bracelet yet but I might do that this afternoon now that my other work is finally done for the day. You'll find Sidonia's video tutorial HERE and read my previous post about these earrings HERE.

    1. That's the problem exactly, Wilma. All you see are the seed beads.
