Description: The Igneous Necklace is a bold and structural beading project that combines architectural form with fiery, volcanic color play. At the heart of the design is a dramatic German glass cabochon, captured securely within a peyote-stitched bezel with a dimensional frame-like structure around the glowing centerpiece. Students will explore the interplay of structure and embellishment through a variety of beadweaving techniques. The bezel construction uses peyote stitch to lock the cabochon into place, while strategic increases form the square frame. The neckstrap features tubular herringbone stitch with color gradation, accented by sections of geometric, netted beaded components that provide both visual interest
and stability. Crystal and metallic bead embellishments punctuate the design, adding sparkle and contrast to the matte seed bead
foundation. By the end of the class, students will have mastered techniques that fuse artistry with engineering, leaving them with the skills to complete a necklace that feels both elemental and refined--like crystallized fire captured in beadwork.
