In doing so, we will recreate the beaded links I shared previously, which were made from contents of the September 2022 Bargain Bead Box subscription (Sign up: bit.ly/2EGlCyj | Coupon: OPAL2).

Simply Gorgeous.
I dont know how you do this or come up with these designs but it's stunning.
Good job Gina
Thank you very much, Carrie! 😁
I've been so looking forward to this tutorial! Thanks, Gina! I think the biggest thing I learned from this is to trust the creation process. If I had started out as this does, with lots of looseness and space between the first two rounds of beads, I'd think, 'Nah, this isn't working out. It'll never be anything." Then I'd either rip it out, or more likely set it down and leave it laying around for years as a failed but possibly still promising UFO. But you kept going, fixed all the early problems, gave it a solid foundation, and ended up with something really beautiful! Also, using the bead cap "backwards", as a crown...just a simple twist brings so much to the finished design. Love it! Love you!😘💜
This necklace is gorgeous, seemingly timeless and I can hardly wait to make loads of this beaded bead wire link to incorporate into all sorts of jewelry. There are lots of steps in the beaded bead, but each step is super simple. Thanks for sharing this design.
I love all your creations. Have made this for a friend for her birthday. She seems to wear it every time I see her. Thank you for your concise instructions. You are a very creative woman. Oh I forgot I made her the ear rings from one of the beaded beads, and of course my self as well.
Thank your again for your inspirations.
Awww, that's so wonderful to hear, Linda! Thank you for sharing! 💜😁
Such an elegant design that can be worn even with nice casual outfits. 👍🥰
Absolutely!! Thanks for watching :)
So happy you made a video on this bead! I fell in love with it on your finished jewelry video! Can’t wait to try it!
Yay! That's great to hear, Kellie 😁 Thanks so much for being here 💜
Thank you for this tutorial! I have been mystified by beaded beads and I had not seen a tutorial like yours until just now. I ended up making a really elegant pair of earrings and I'm just over the moon. Thank you so much! I'll likely make a necklace, too, but for now I just love my earrings! 😊😊😊
Wonderful beaded bead, and your instructions verbally and video were absolutely perfect!
Beaded this today. Made a pendant by adding a faux leather cord. So I had the very feminine pink against the "tough" look of the cord. I'm working on the earrings to go with. one of the most beautiful beaded beads I've seen. Thanks for sharing with us. BEAUTIFUL!!!
That sounds awesome, Aldene!! Thank you for sharing!! 💜
Fantastic job. I love it. GBY.
Beautiful and appears to be easy to make. Now, all I have to do is find the correct sizes of rondelles to use. Thanks, Gina, for showing us how to make this bead.
You are very welcome, Sue! I have links to the beads listed in the video description box, if that's helpful to you 💜
There are soooo many of your projects that I absolutely love - it's wonderful how beautiful your designs are - but, I must admit this beaded bead is my favorite! I can barely wait to have the time to make it!! Thanks, Gina - you're designs are quite inspiring!
I am so glad to hear that 😁 Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It truly makes my day! 💜

Hi Gina! I love this tutorial! You are so creative. I'll be trying this design out as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I've already used up all of my beads from this BBB so I'll probably be using another color palette. Thank-you so much for sharing! God bless....🙂😇👣
Awww, you're so sweet, thank you!! I'm glad you had fun with your BBB contents already. This tutorial will be here for you when you're ready. 💜 :)
Great directions. Thanks! I'd like to try this with beads I already have and wondered how you determine what size the beads should be to work well together, in this case the two sizes of rondelles. Thank you again for all your work.
Thanks, Sylvia!! Simply lots of experimenting, and trial and error, until I am happy with the result. 💜
Amazing combination to make a very fancy bead!
Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching!! :)

Super work, beautiful! I love this design. I’m not much of a beader, because I can’t see well enough but I enjoy watching how it’s done. You made it look so easy. I might actually try it. I certainly have enough beads. I recently decided to try using a magnifying glass which is on an arm with a light. I think my hands work fine still, it’s just my cruddy eyesight. 😂
Hi Lisa! I do hope you're still able to do some intricate beadwork. Eyesight is so precious! 💜😁
I was hoping you would do a tutorial for these! They're gorgeous!!!
Thanks so much, Lea!! 😊
I could find no mentiom of the size of the two rondelles you used in making this bead!!! I would love to order from BB craft but must have the sizes in order to do that. Thank you!
So pretty love it
Thank you! 😊

This is such a lovely component. I can't see a link to find out which sizes of roundels you have used. Could you advise me please x
Of course! Thank you for asking. Are you able to see the description box under the video? You should see something like....
✿ Hey everyone! It’s Gina from orchidandopal.com. In this video I will show you how to make a beaded bead with glass and crystal rondelles, and round seed beads. We'll then add them...
and then you can click where it says "more" which will open up the rest of the description box, where you can then see all of the links. But if you can't find it, I am happy to add them here, just let me know! :)
Merci pour ce joli tuto.perle très jolies.dommage, j ai pas les perles coupelles..
I love the entire necklace. Do you have a tutorial for it?
Hey Cathy! I have tutorials for wire wrapped loop/link necklaces and things in my tutorial archives, but not an entire tutorial for this specific necklace - just the beaded bead links, this time. Thanks for asking! 💜
@@ORCHIDandOPAL thank you. I will check those out. I am now getting ready to do the beaded bead :)
😍 Beautiful 😍
я сделала такую по вашему видео, спасибо👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 (не хватает русских субтитров, но я справилась😊)
Love this going to try it.
I'm glad to hear that! 😁
thank you!
Boncuklar kaç numara????
Beautiful bead. Off to raid my supplies 🙂
O.M.G. that is gorgeous 😍. I first thought, why oh why they always have this beautiful beads in USA... than I looked closer to the thumbnail and I thought wauw she used seabeads around a big bead... pity I don't have big beads... and then I watched the tutorial and I am so so excited... yes definitely a yes. I will try to make those beads. They are so beautiful 😍. Really. Okay I don't have those beads, but I am going to try to figure out to do it with Chekglass beads. Perhaps I will have to put more or less seabeads, but I will sure try this bead. As in Belgium it is hard to find beautiful beads, and if you find them they cost an arm and a Legg. So yes, gonna try this. So finally I can alter my own beads and they will be original and less expensive... 😃. Tjank you so much for this tutorial. I am wirewrapping most of my jewelry that I sell, but unfortunately I am always hitting the wall if they use special shiny glimmering beads. I have to use what I can find here in the stores and on aliexpress. So it is really going to give my jewelry more glammer and chique... thank you thank you thank you. You are so kind for sharing these beauties how to make them...
(Ofcourse I have to be able to make them first. I am not good in doing all that crazy stuff you do with those beads. But you explained it calm and very understandable.) So 1000 times thank you. You are abs fab sweetie darling... I am so glad I decided to follow you. Haven't be sorry at all. You give me good tutorials on beading things... Have a nice evening, day, morning, where ever you are in the timezone... 😘😘😘. Greetings from Belgium
Hi Malika! Thank you so much for sharing 💜 It makes me happy to know this video has helped you! But I'm sorry to hear that you have a hard time finding beads. I do have several other beaded bead tutorials, I will try to link the playlist for those here but let me know if it doesn't work for you.

I'm so happy to have you here following along. Thank you very much!💜 💜 😁 I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Amazing. Thanks a lot 🤩
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! 💜
Theses beads she makes are beautiful. Is there a paper direction, as doing it with the video is hard.
Hi Kathleen! Thanks for asking. At this time I don't have a written tutorial, but I will keep this in mind for the future. Have a great rest of your day!
It is amazing🌞
Thank you! :)
Lovely very Victorian 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩💜💜💜💜
Thank you 💜💜💜
😂 I did this today and after getting one done realized I had grabbed the
Wrong color seed beads 🙄. Not to mention my wire was copper copper and not antique copper. So mine turned out with three different color metals 🤬
Maybe it was a happy accident, and your bead has its own unique charm? Mixed metals are "in" these days.
@@patriciamorgan6545 it definitely says “something” 😂
Yes, love Patricia's comment! Maybe it was a happy accident. Mixed metals are "in," but I understand the frustration if that's not the look you were going for 💜 At least you got some good practice! :)
