Tutorial Rivoli Urchin Necklace and Pendants beaded with herringbone weave

The Rivoli Urchin beaded pendant showcases a sparkling rivoli crystal with eight arms or ridges of ornate seed bead work over a cluster of larger beads. The detailed bead weaving includes circular peyote stitch and a stitch that lies between herringbone stitch and square stitch. The symmetric cluster resembles a sea urchin skeleton or perhaps a long legged starfish that is tightly clutching a rock.

The spider-web back provides structure and serves as a bail for stringing a chain or thick cord. The seed bead work on the rest of the necklace matches the ridges on the Urchin in both style and technique. The detailed instructions include the straight herringbone stitch cable with captured gems (in several sizes) and both parts of the toggle clasp.

The pattern comes in three parts, the Rivoli Urchin Pendant and the Herringbone Clasp and Cable, and a page from a sold-out kit. Together, the patterns have 34 pages, including 10 pages of photos of variations to inspire you. There are over 150 color illustrations and photographs.
The tutorial is three files. You can see the first pages of two of the files, including the materials list, in the second image above.
