Tropical Dahlia Set
Tropical Dahlia Set
Weave a gorgeous floral pendant using a collection of different "petal" shapes of smooth glass beads and sparkling crystals, and then use the same beads to weave a matching pair of earrings. The Tropical Dahlia Pendant and Earrings both feature “Rizo” beads, teardrop-shaped glass beads, Japanese seed beads, and Swarovski rivoli pendant crystals. These beads are woven together using a unique beaded bezel that encloses a central rivoli crystal. A beaded bail completes the pendant so that it can be strung on a cord or a chain for a very sparkly solo pendant. A smaller pair of matching earrings completes the set. Combine several pendant components together for a dazzling necklace!
