Netted 'V's

Both of these ‘V’s start center front at the longest point. The Opulent ‘V’ offers instant gratification because it is done in larger 8/0 seed bead with 4mm fire polish crystals incorporated as you bead along. Once you finish the first half, turn it around continue to follow the pattern in the same direction. The band mirrors the swags along the ‘V’ edge. This comes together quickly.

The Triple ‘V’ Jewel is full of innovations inspired by a contemporary netted ‘V’ collar with an open diamond from Ukraine. My version plays with three novel facet-cut beads affectionately know as Cathedral Windows. The extreme contrast between the crystal shapes and seed beads create drama. When you delve into this stunning necklace front and center, you’ll see how ingeniously the open diamond is created. The netted base is trimmed with a mix of novel-cut jewel-toned beads. They’re playfully arranged along center front and edge. Jewel-toned crystals are stitched on later to further embellish the diamond and top.
