20 Beaded Jewelry Designs
By combining multiple beadweavinq stitches, designer Maggie Meister brilliantly captures patterns and motifs
inspired by antique jewelry, mosaics and tiles and architectural elements in 20 sophisticated jewelry designs, Her stunning Oplonti bracelet, for example,
references the floral motifs and columns painted in ancient frescoes, The band is made using singular and two-bead square stitch, while each column consists of a
peyote stitch tube, a brick stitch border, and a circular peyote stitch top.
Other projects in this fabulous entry in the Beadweaving Master Class series include the Sappho necklace, which incorporates circular peyote stitch, circular brick stitch, and diagonal brick stitch, and the Antonia Earrings, which combine rosettes with right angle weave tubes and are embellished with rows of seed bead peyote stitch.
