instructions

1. Ring - 1. On each end of the monofilament, thread a 5mm blue zircon rondell, a seed bead, a 4mm sun rondell, a seed bead, a 5mm blue zircon, a seed bead, a 4mm fuchsia rondell and a seed bead. Lay both threads anti-clockwise around the main crystal and pass the ends through the first blue zircon on the opposite side. Cross the threads through the centre of the main crystal and pull tight.
   
   2. Pass each end through the four adjacent seed beads on the left of the main crystal. Cross the monofilament through the middle of the fifth seed. Thread two seed beads onto each end before crossing the monofilament through the centre of the blue zircon on the left side of the main crystal. This will secure the frame on the left side.
   
   3. Create the ring band by slipping three seed beads onto each thread. Add a fourth seed to one side and cross the other end through the middle of this. Make five more loops on the band by threading five beads onto each thread and crossing the ends through a sixth bead each time.
   
   4. Finish the ring band by threading three seed beads onto each end of monofilament and crossing through the centre of the blue zircon on the right side of the main crystal. Add two seeds to each end and cross through the fifth bead of the frame on the right side of the main crystal. Pass the ends through the four seed beads on either side, then thread one end down through the main crystal so it meets the other.
   
   5. Knot the two ends of monofilament together tightly and secure the knot with a dab of adhesive if required. If you have enough left, thread the ends through several adjacent beads on either side before trimming away the excess.
   

2. Make it yours - Experiment with other shades of crystal, such as delicate pinks and mauves, or blue, green and black for an edgier look.
