About this design:
Thanks to Jewelry Lessons.com & Sharon for directing me to this website, this is a ring that I have been wanting to try for a couple weeks now. Finally attempted it today & ended up with 4 of them! They are fairly simple to make once you get the pattern down. Just in time for my open house saturday too. Will try to get better pics tmr. Took them on my phone & didnt realize how small the pics were.
Components:
4mm swarovski bicones, glass pearls, & seed beadsAdditional Images:

The baroque Princess says:These look amazing, but tip..make your photos at least( 25% percent )magnification is the cut off I believe for most internet photos – when you save them in your pictures or documents, that way we can see them up close! We want to SEE THEM!! IM drooling!

Linda Talbott says:The rings look pretty, but they’re really hard to see. I hope you’ll post some with an enlarged view. And good luck with your open house.
