Crystal Diamonds Revisited

posted: Thursday, 11 June 2026

I've had a few people bead my Crystal Diamonds pattern recently and it made me take a look back at this project.

Crystal Diamonds is a 39-page advanced pattern for my dazzling series of beadwork which combines a unique thread-path with sparkling bicones & seed beads to create some incredible pieces of beadwork.

The pattern fully details how to bead a wide variety of projects including bracelets, pendants, earrings (both simple and ornate), chains, and a rope, along with a beaded fastening to allow you to vary the wearable length of your jewellery.

This is a truly advanced set of projects and although at first glance may look like netting it doesn't resemble netting at all in its beading and if you love intricate and variable beading then this pattern is for you!

Materials needed:

  • 4mm Swarovski bicone crystals #5328
  • Size 15 Miyuki seed beads
  • Needle, thread and findings of choice
