Glistening Swirls Bracelet & Necklace Pattern

With this versatile "Glistening Swirls" design, you can create a dazzling beaded bracelet, necklace, or a matching set for yourself or a loved one.  This design is packed with crystals, so every little movement causes the countless facets of the swirling crystals to glisten, shimmer, and shine, drawing appreciative eyes like moths to a flame. It's difficult to capture their true brilliance in our photos. And, because this is an easy, repeatable spiral stitch pattern, it's a great project for beaders of all skill levels, including absolute beginners. This design features three colors of large 6 mm crystals that swirl in one direction, accompanied by smaller 4 mm crystal bicones and shiny 8/0 accent beads that swirl in the opposite direction, creating even more visual interest. The substantial beaded tube makes a stunning statement piece. And, because this design uses large beads, it's fast and easy to stitch up.
