Master class
Symmetrical pendant on a cord
in weaving technique.
Creative master class with personal support.
We are pleased to welcome you to the training program "Symmetrical pendant on a cord" made using the bead weaving technique.
In this course, you'll create a unique, designer piece of jewelry based on a custom design that we'll develop together during the training. This will ensure your piece is completely unique and fully reflects your style.
The work uses natural stones of various shapes and sizes, crystals, chatons and rivoli , from which a complex decorative composition is created.
A distinctive feature of this technique is that the reverse side of the stones remains exposed during weaving . This preserves the natural beauty and texture of the stone, highlights its natural pattern, and makes the jewelry lighter and more elegant.
The pendant's composition can include several central elements, connected by decorative strands of beads, seed beads, and stones. The decoration is completed with a striking twisted double-sided cord , which makes the piece harmonious and complete.
The result is a piece of jewelry that looks like a true designer necklace . This pendant necklace can truly be called a work of art , crafted using beadwork.
Difficulty level: medium.
