SOLITAIRE NECKLACE

©2017 Deborah Roberti

Use size 11/0 Miyuki seed beads, 3mm beads, MiniDuo (or SuperDuo) beads and two-hole diamond beads (GemDuo or DiamonDuo beads) to make this pretty necklace that matches my Solitaire Bracelets and Solitaire Earrings patterns. Full directions provided for creating a necklace with DiamonDuo/GemDuo side straps (left) and substitution steps for creating much simpler side straps (right) using seed beads, 3mm and 4mm beads instead.

Stitch: Various

Beads Used: Miyuki size 11 "rocaille" seed beads, 3mm beads (round beads and fire-polished beads work best), any size 4mm beads, two-hole diamond beads (GemDuo or DiamonDuo beads) and MiniDuo (or SuperDuo) beads

Approx Finished Size: About .75 inches wide to desired length

NOTE: Bead colors and coatings (and even bead types!) seem to be disappearing at a rate that I can no longer keep up with. I try to find substitutes when I can but "discontinued" seems to be the norm these days.
