Elarion's Bloom Necklace

Taught by Rangashrii Santhanam

This intricately crafted necklace features a central pendant in the shape of a stylized floral or snowflake motif. The pendant is composed of teardrop and marquise-shaped faceted stones, arranged in a symmetrical, radiant pattern. Small round beads and additional faceted elements surround the centerpiece, adding texture and brilliance. The chain is formed from closely strung seed beads and is accented with regularly spaced floral bead clusters that echo the design of the pendant. A delicately shaped clasp with a floral motif secures the piece at the back. A single teardrop-shaped bead dangles from the bottom of the pendant, adding a graceful, finishing touch. Techniques used- circular peyote and step up, netting, tubular herringbone, strong bead weaving skills and maintaining uniform tension.
