My aunt-in-law asked me to make three rivoli pendants for her to give as gifts. This is last one. I tried a different bezel this time from Cathy’s Beadwork, which has a netted back. I added the crystals differently than in the pattern as I didn’t have that many. The necklace part is a spiral [...]

I found instructions on YouTube by Camille Sharon for making string art pendants, I [...]

Lastly is the web necklace using another great Victorian pattern by Suzanne Cooper.

Posted in necklace on Feb 1st, 2009
I made this necklace for my mother for Christmas. I based it on a pattern in Beadwork magazine (Aug/Sep 2007) by Laura McCabe, but very much simplified it due to a lack of beads! This rivoli crystal colour is called Volcano I think, it really sparkles very nicely. I did the necklace in four bead [...]
