THE BEADING GEM'S JOURNAL

Antique Glamor Necklace and Ring Tutorials featuring Swarovski Elements

Posted: 10 Dec 2011 04:00 AM PST

I received these wonderful free tutorials from one of my wholesale suppliers. No matter what the title says, I think the designs are worthy of other times of the year too, not just Christmas!

The bib style necklace makes use of different types of Swarovski crystals - the eye-catching round stones as well as pendant drops, crystal pearls and bicones.

The necklace tutorial is also notable for it's use of gathered ribbon to frame 4 of the flowers. I also liked the easy way leather and beads are used to encase the fifth "flower". Beats having to do a full beaded cabochon technique!

This same leather technique is carried over in the ring tutorial.
