New Project Release: The Celebration Necklace + Pendant (Video Coming May 18th!) ✨
There’s just something about bright colors, sparkle, and a little bit of beadwork magic that makes a project feel like a true celebration—and that’s exactly what this design is all about!
I’m so excited to introduce you to the Celebration Necklace, a bold and playful piece that features sparkling Rivolis wrapped in triangular peyote bezels and connected into a fun, eye-catching necklace. This design is perfect for showing off your favorite colors and creating something that truly stands out.
But wait… it gets even better. This is actually a two-in-one project! ?
Along with the full necklace design, I’ve also included instructions for a Celebration Pendant, which is perfect if you want a quicker project, a matching piece, or even a great little gift idea.
Why You’ll Love This Project
This design is one of those that checks all the boxes:
-
✔️ Great for using up your Rivoli stash
-
✔️ Fun, geometric design with tons of color possibilities
-
✔️ Repetitive and relaxing stitching (hello, peyote lovers!)
-
✔️ Flexible—you can make the full necklace or just the pendant
The triangular bezels are simple to learn and really satisfying to build. Once you make one… you’ll want to keep going!
New YouTube Video – Coming Monday, May 18th
If you’re more of a visual learner (or just like crafting along with me ?), I’ve got you covered!
The Celebration Pendant video tutorial will be released on YouTube on Monday, May 18th, where I’ll walk you step-by-step through creating the bezel and finishing your piece.
This is a great place to start if you’re new to the project or just want to get comfortable with the technique before jumping into the full necklace.
Let’s Talk Supplies
This project uses a mix of Rivoli sizes and Delica beads to create that layered, dimensional look. You’ll be working with:
-
Multiple Rivoli sizes (14mm, 16mm, and 18mm for the necklace)
-
11/0 Delica beads in your favorite colors
-
A few bicones for connecting elements
-
Chain and a clasp to finish it off
And for the pendant, you’ll just need an 18mm Rivoli and a smaller selection of beads—perfect for a quick and satisfying make!
Make It Your Own
One of my favorite things about this design is how customizable it is. You can go:
-
Bright and bold
-
Soft and neutral
-
Seasonal (hello red, white & blue or holiday colors!)
Every version turns out completely unique—and that’s the fun of it!
