Repeat the rings and chains, inserting a small bead at each long picot.

To add a bead, make the picot which will receive the join slightly longer than the diameter of the bead. When you're ready to join, pull the picot through the bead with a small crochet hook and complete the join as usual.

Instructions:

This design used two 5mm turquoise-colored beads, 20 gold seed beads, Flora thread size 20 color 218, and 2 gold-tone jewelry findings.

Wind 1.5 yards of thread onto a shuttle. Add 7 seed beads onto the thread. You will start with a ring. Be sure you leave at least 5 inches of thread hanging so you can tie your work to the jewelry finding when you're done.

Form the ring on your hand, and at the same time keep 6 beads close to the shuttle, and one bead on your working thread and to the back of your hand.

R: 8ds bring bead on working thread to your work 5ds p 3ds close
Form the next ring on your hand, leaving 1 bead at the shuttle and 5 beads on the working thread

R: 5ds pick up one of the seed beads not on your thread and join to last picot on previous ring 5 ds bring beads on working thread to your work 5ds p 5ds close

Form the next ring on your hand, bringing the last bead to the working thread

R: 5ds pick up one of the seed beads not on your thread and join to last picot on previous ring 3ds bring bead on working thread to your work 8ds close

Cut about 5 inches away from your work. Thread both ends through the 5mm bead, then through a seed bead. Tie with a secure knot to the jewelry finding. Seal the knot with a drop of Fray-Check or fabric glue. When it's dry, trim the ends off.

Repeat for the second earring.
