Using world-famous Swarovski crystals and pearls, Laura McCabe has designed brilliant necklaces, earrings, pendants, and rings for bead artists of all skill levels. She explains 20 projects with complete step-by-step instructions and presents an additional 45 design variations. This allows for the customization of colors and shapes to create unique jewelry. To recreate these 65 sparkling designs, only three simple bead techniques are required: flat peyote stitch, round peyote stitch, and spiral stitch. Clear instructions and precise color drawings guide the way. Additionally, there is a chapter on embellishments (branching fringes, crystal drops, crystal clusters, and picots), allowing for selection and customization to follow one's own style.
