I’m having a love/hate relationship with this beaded ring. It’s taken several iterations to construct it properly, but I finally got it down.
What do you think? Fun/funky or too much? Should I make a tutorial?
Obviously, colors can be changed.

It took me a little while to decide, but I'm pretty sure Hercules is my new favorite beading thread. I've used it for the brick stitch fringe earrings I've made recently and found it work well for the body AND the fringe. It also works for stringing using bead tips. If you're interested in trying it, read my review at my website (link in comments)

Visiting my daughter and refreshing her jewelry wardrobe with a new batch of gemstone bracelets and a simple pearl chain necklace. I would add some to sell on my website but I’m low on inventory again. 😂
