When designing, I like to start with a general sense of the style I want to achieve. I wanted this design to fit with the modern looking Swarovski 30mm foiled Chessboard circle flat back stone.

Various styles of peyote stitch create Contempo with one side sparkly and the backside beaded to look like a mandala. This versatile piece pairs well with a little black dress or a denim jacket. Jointed ropes add hinges while the sides of the stone show an open weave design.
