Tretze Necklace Revisited

posted: Sunday, 19 July 2026

I'm still thinking about CRAW and got to see a beautiful completed Tretze Necklace in class yesterday so today's post is about this pattern from way back in 2016… Tretze!

This sparkling Tretze pendant/ brooch unites peyote stitch with Swarovski crystals to dramatic effect.

The centrepiece is endlessly variable as to the shape you want to create and the number and size of rivolis you want to add around the centre large sparkling crystal.

The pendant is strung on 1-3 strands of co-ordinating CRAW chain (optional) with a beaded s-hook clasp so you can vary the look each time you wear it.

This is an advanced project but full technique instructions are included for the CRAW ropes in the 32-page file.

Materials needed:

  • 1 x 27mm Swarovski #1201 stone
  • 8 x 14mm Swarovski #1122 Rivolis
  • 4-8 x 12mm Swarovski #1122 Rivolis
  • Size 11 Cylinder beads e.g. Delicas or Aikos
  • Size 15 Miyuki seed beads
  • Needle and thread of choice
