In this 6 hour Zoom workshop with supporting video demonstrations and live teaching, Melissa Shippee will walk you through the creation of your own In Bloom Necklace.
Radiant and full of life, the In Bloom Necklace captures the beauty of a gemstone flower bursting open in shimmering color. At its heart lies a brilliant crystal centerpiece, intricately encased in layers of precisely stitched Japanese Delicas and seed beads using peyote and netting techniques. Each beaded petal radiates outward in a symphony of metallic and iridescent hues, surrounding a sparkling rivoli crystal that glows from within.
An enormous, 40mm faceted Preciosa chandelier teardrop crystal dangles below, encased in a bezel of coordinating beads that highlight its depth and brilliance. The pendant is suspended from a supple leather cord finished with beaded accents and a custom toggle clasp, blending elegance with modern design.
Created with the highest quality materials—European crystals, Miyuki and Toho seed beads and premium leather cord—this design offers a luxurious beading experience and a stunning finished piece.
Whether in the vibrant Green, romantic Pink, regal Purple, or sleek Gray colorway, the In Bloom Necklace is a dazzling statement of artistry, precision, and imagination—perfect for beaders who love texture, sparkle, and sophisticated craftsmanship.
