I'm so new that I never seen anyone bead off the thread bridge yet. You the first teacher/artist that I've seen do it. A brand new teaching for me. Thanks Stephanie! 🌸🌺🌹🥀🌹🌺🌸 😘
Thank you SO MUCH for your AMAZING tutorials!! I got away from seed beading because some went out of style, but you make classy, timeless -always stylish jewelry! You have me so excited to start sewing beads again. I injured my spine working in the medical field and all my hard work schooling seemed wasted, but now I'm going to start kind of a variety website/blog. I'm hoping to start a fashion line and about beauty, home decorating tips, life style and hair styling tips. I did hair for 14 years while slowly going to collage.. and best of all... I will be able to make jewelry along with house decor to sell -the things that I love to do! Thank you for giving me a purpose in life again. I felt like most of me died when I had to give up working and lost purpose other than hoping to help people. You help teach people to get to enjoy making absolutely beautiful unique jewelry that you can't buy at a store. THANKS AGAIN! I love your tutorials!! They are amazing!! You're a great teacher! Pretty & sweet too! 😊❤️
Diana, thank you so much for sharing your story😘 I'm so glad the tutorials are helping you with your transitions!!! Turning to creative pursuits is a wonderful way to start a new chapter of life! I wish you all the best and please hang in there...Stephanie
I love all your work, the bracelet made with silver lined Pewter I have it on right now it looks great, have done quiet a few things from your tutorials. I remember the 1st. ring a made (still keep), but a dew days back I made another one, still needs the band, but I had no problems this time. Thank you very much Stephanie for all yout tutorials, tips, and patience. Still live on northern coast of Spain. Beading is addictive, God bless you
I have searched everywhere for the 6x9 crystal for this ring and the matching earrings and finally I found them in a shop online. It's actually called a football bead by Swarovski. I just finished the hematite necklace, It took a month and a half to finally get the 6mm hematites ( and now I've got my necklace and I absolutely love it! The only problem I have is that the 6mm beads are magnetic so they keep wanting to stick to each other and the 2mms were supposed to come in the silver, but they are as dark as the rest) I still love my necklace! Working on the day to night bracelet too. In silver and bronze.I wish I were as talented as you are Stephanie! I almost gave up beading all together because my jewelry just isn't selling, it's only costing.But I've decided to still make jewelry for myself, and gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent!
Just wanna say that I tried this using a 6mm bicone instead of the oval bead and it worked! Used five delicas on either side of the first row instead of seven and the rest fell into place :)
This ring is absolutely gorgeous! I’m just a novice in beading and your tutorial makes me want to learn/try this really bad! Thank you for the upload and easy/well explained instruction!
Great idea to use a pin to help keep your project in alignment. I'll have to keep this in mind. It's also helpful in holding a small project in the beginning. I usually use a large stop bead so that I have something to grab onto, but using a pin could be useful too. TY
This the most fun and exciting way to work. I was fainthearted for a while, but this ring actually came out great. I think the spontaneous nature of brick stitching is fabulous. Each successive row seemed to make the last one more even and straight. To begin with, my oval bead took 9 Delicas instead of your 7, so I had to wing it all the way through. But this was really fun. Definitely will do another and splash out with color more. That is also a great feature of this ring. The esthetic decisions are possible all along the process. Thanks agan, Stephanie, for the fantastic design work and perfect tutorial. Don't listen to people that say you talk too much. The best little nuggets of information are in the sweet soft muttering!
+Judith Lenzin Thanks Judith😃🙏🌻 I must admit I was a bit too chatty back then. I think I have more of a balance now. Judith, you have a naturally curious and creative approach to beading. A wonderful quality in an artist! The joy you get from this craft is evident in your lovely comments. You’re a natural!
I made my first ring tonight and I love it. You teach so well and I honestly love all of your work. Victorian jewelry and your colors are always perfect for what I love to wear. I tried using the 3mm bicones or rondelles and they actually were to small. For my delica bead to come up to half way of the bicone I had to use my 4mm which made me so happy because I have more colors and 2ab in my 4mm. I am going to go back and see what tutorial I have not done yet just as soon as I make a couple of more rings. Great advice on doing the band separate. I have 2 that have stretched to large. I think I can cut the band where I will have enough line to tie off and just do the new bands. Thanks again Stephanie and I am on pins and beads waiting for your next beautiful tutorial.
+Melinda Davis Thank you Melinda!!!! I am so happy you have played with your beads to make this ring work for you!!! My goal is to teach is such a way that promotes interpretation! Love that - means I am doing ok with my instruction! Thanks :) Stretching of beaded rings is inevitable! I wasn't going to even include rings in these tuts but had many requests for them. So yes, sewing that band on separately is a good idea. Also, you can sew through the ends of the ring again to tighten it. Give that a try too:) More tuts coming up!
Wow what a lovely beautiful ring, I just loved it.I just started learning this month.I just found right now your lovely channel.its a great tips.I really appreciate it.💙🦋💙💎🦋💎
i love your designs. you never cease to amaze me! i love the opal colors of the swarovski bicones! they seem to sparkle the most and have the most color.
i actually made a pair of earrings with your design that came out absolutely beautiful. the center bead was a little shorter so i did modify but i love the color on them. there is a gold and purple luster on one side and a hematite color on the other side so they are very sparkly. i put them together so the purple and gold are in the front and the hematite in the back so you get a different look from behind if you have your hair up. i absolutely love them. ill post a pic of them on your facebook page when i take some pictures :)
I know this tutorial is from 5 years ago but I absolutely love to watch your tutorials. You are a really good instructor and extremely talented. Thank you for sharing!!! Love this ring too!!!
I think your one of the best teachers. Your very understandable, you think about questions we may ask. I have so many ideas to work on because of your videos. thank you for taking your time to teach us.
Stephanie, i just love your channel. You are such an inspiration. I am a couple of years late on seeing this video, but you just gave me an inspiring thought to sew around round and weird shaped beads. Beautiful creation.
Stephanie, I would love to see this style ring made in summer colors. Thank you for giving me hours of pleasure watching and learning your amazing tutorials.
Oh my, so beautiful rings, dear Stefani! Each one has its own beauty! The last jewelry' pieces you're showing are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous artistic designs jewelry! Have a great week!
Thank you! I think it takes one to know one! And yes, I've been going back and forth along your time line and your teaching style has definitely honed to perfection. But I do like the older tutorials too. It's a pleasure to see the evolution. Don't you just love to watch vintage I Love Lucy's? Same joy.
After viewing the tutorial, this ring looks huge!!! It isn't really big. I think it is the camera angle that makes it look so big. Its about an inch at its longest if you use Miyuki beads. Just thought I'd mention that :)
G'Day My Happy Sounding Friend, Welcome back "Master" your little grasshopper has missed your masterful teachings and I was beginning to have withdrawal pangs at not seeing your postings. Thank goodness you are back!!!!! Love the rings... all of them!!!! Will have to make them into earrings as they are to long to fit my "chubby little fingers" They will match the pair that I have already made (and they are also my favourite as well) and they are the ones I wear the most. I have been working on my beading Embroidery design and I think that the stitch (that I didn't know what it was) is called "diagonal weave". I left the name of the designer on your last post. As she doesn't speak English and is silent throughout the video and in some places it is very hard to follow what she is doing. I had to stop ..start so much that it took many a long hour to to finally work it out. Even the name of the design wasn't in English. I have made a small sample and if I can I will send a photo of it by email. Check her site out as she does some great pieces and if you see it you may know what I am talking about. It would be great if you could do a video on how to do it. That's what makes your videos so great as you take each step slowly and clearly for any level of beader to follow. Will keep you up to date with the "Grand Design" as I progress. Don't forget to show us the "Tools" you got for Christmas. not sure if I mention that my Hubby brought me a box of 72 Derwent pencils.... nearly had a fit as they are very expensive but he thought that it would help me work out my designs when I draw them so that I can achieve good colour balance with my beads before starting. He has been around me long enough to know and understand the way in which I do my creative work.....Iv'e trained him well so I think that I will keep him. It's not being silly it's called being "Happy" so don't change, be Happy all the time as this makes your videos so enjoyable.... that's why we all watch to catch some of that "Happiness" we get when we watch!!!! Glad you finally caught up with us and joined us in 2016 and I just can't wait to have a year full of fun, writing lovely novels (to you) and making and learning wonderful designs. Welcome back and stay warm my little polar bear....hear from you soon and now it's good night from your wonder Down Under on this rather warm evening ......Blessings XXOX
+Chris Phillips Hi Chris! I think its about 3am Down Under so by the time you read this it will be "Good Morning"my dear beading sister! Thank you for the kind comment on the rings. I have a love/hate relationship with Brick Stitch that is becoming more loving each time I use it!!! I will be looking at the Diagonal Weave stitch and will wait patiently for your picture of bead embroidery! You might have to teach me as I've gotten a few requests for embroidered pieces. I didn't buy the tools yet - my hubby wants me to order them so when I receive them I'l post a pic! Your hub is a keeper and I think you should share him with me (the cooking part and generous gift part hahaha)!!! I have my "silly days" which are wonderful visits to me and I always want to share the love and silliness with others! Today is shaping up pretty good so far lol After being on this earth for such a long time I choose happy and silly :) and beading and sharing with all my lovely beading friends as well as non beading friends (who love my work but don't understand my obsession with beading everything around me haha)The temps here are dropping lower every day - teens and 20's F. I will be watching the 2016 Australian Open Tennis Championships and dreaming of the lovely warm/hot temps while I shiver in New England!!! Stay cool...Blessings my Down Under Wonder :)
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry I am waiting for some beads to arrive (today or tomorrow) to start the weave as I have only done it in beads to work it out. As soon as I have completed the section I will send you a photo. I hope you don't get to tied watching the Tennis as I believe it will be played during your night time. I'm not a tennis fan and even dislike it more as it completely (a long with other tournaments being played now as well as Cricket) as take over the TV and now I don't even turn it on.... not that it was that great before hand but there were some shows I do enjoy watching while I bead. XXOOX
Стефани, здравствуйте!!! Вы невероятно талантливый , кропотливый и аккуратный мастер своего дела!!! Молодец!!! Я по вашим МК сделала разные Украшения и очень вам благодарна, спасибо, что вы есть!!!!
"I'm a little silly today - but, you know, it's one of those silly days" :-D I simply LOVE those comments from you, Stephanie. You can't see it, but I'm sitting here in DK, smiling widely at you (your hands, that is) on my screen :-D :-D :-D. Wish you could see all the smiles, you get from us beaders following you. You are so sweet and funny and it's always a great pleasure to learn from you. So Thank You for being you!
Dear Stephane, after 6 or 7 years, I still have the one a beaded, it was very tricky. I might give it another try and use another color. Its really a gorgeous ring. Greetings! From northern coast of Spain, remember me?
Stephanie I can see a bracelet made from that ring. Tomorrow I am going to go to Michaels and see if I can find that bead if not I will order the mini ones from Art Beads. I love watching your video. To bad you don't live in Nebraska I would invite you over for coffee and beading then a little shopping at my local bead store.
I so wish I lived in Nebraska right now !!! 💖💚💜 Sounds like a perfect day to me! A little coffee, a little beading and top it off with a little bead shopping😄😀😃 You are so sweet💐 I was just talking about a bracelet for this ring on the Pearly Girly tutorial! Great idea and would be so much fun to design! Earrings too and a pendant!!! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! I'm glad this ring inspired you😍 😎😃
I love this ring idea of yours So very much. I have made one over again now 5 times, learning (trying to) each time I make a mastake. I had the Miyki delicas and other seedbeads but not untill i had the toho seedbeads did I start to get a finish like yours. I love ur colour palette you work with. I wish I had a quarter of ur talent. Thank you again.
Thank you DaMon for your kind comment! I'm glad you stuck with it because this ring is hard to make. It looks easy but to get it right it takes lots of practice! Using Toho is a great idea because sometimes one brand of bead works better for a beader than another to get the results. Bravo!
Felicitaciones por tus videos. Dios te bendiga siempre. Gracias por compartir tu talento y arte, erés la mejor. Where do you buy your oval faceted from?. Un abrazo desde Colombia - Bogotá
Love the ring! I tried following along, but after I added the 2nd crystal, and was attempting to add 2 Delicas, I couldn't get the Delica next to the crystal to sit right. It wanted to lay sideways. I'm going to try it again. Thank you for all your tutorials. I've made quite a few of your pieces and love them.
Stephanie, I'm from Texas the "big state" I rarely get on Facebook but if you have info that will help me out I will definitely go there, many thanks for answering me back as quick as you did ... Have a blessed day😇.
Absolutely STUNNING!!!! I always get super excited when I get notification that you've posted another video. For the most part I usually have all the supplies on hand or with your designs I can change things and make it work with what I do have. Keep up the great work!
hi stephani this ring is awesome i would really try this .its fun to listen to your tutorials and learn at the same time, forget everything and just be in the beading world.I always have great time watching your tutorials.thank you god bless
WOW! That Amethyst Ring is so gorgeous!( Next project!) :) And why would we not want to make all of your pieces they are all beautiful and not so complicated! You are so good at (Dare I say it!?) Teaching! Yes. Thank you so much Stephanie! :)
+Sharon Godbout WOW! Thank you for the compliment Sharon!!! I strive to be a good teacher so I really appreciate you saying so!!! I had so much fun making these rings. I fell in love with Brick Stitch again. Yeah, that Amethyst one is a good one (not complimenting me, the beads are the stars here! They make me look good) Thanks again my sister in beading...Enjoy!
Beautiful ring. I love the color and design of this ring :) Could you show in a video some other designs ? I'm not to clever on designing a ring like this :) I'm getting a bit better at doing some smaller rings. I know you just can't wait to make more lol.
One more thing, I love this ring as it is, but could you make a smaller, daintier, mini-sized version of it. I love it, but it's a little too big for my hand. I'm curious to see what you come up with. Thanks a million.
After requesting a scaled down version of this ring, I did a little research and found that there really isn't an oval crystal that is small enough to make this ring daintier. It looks like we would have to use a "Gemduo, Mini-Gemduo, or an IrisDuo". These beads would work, but you wouldn't have that faceted crystal look. Just a thought.
+Terry Sanders Thanks Terry! Yup, we always find a use for any bead we have. I use beads from years ago for new projects :) Beading is good for the environment haha we reduce our beads by making beautiful things, we reuse our stash beads, and we recycle older pieces by taking them apart and making new things haha :) Beading is all around a good thing LOL :)
Happy New Year! You've started it with a bang! Such a beautiful ring, Stephanie! You brought back a few memories for me--one is l used to ride my bike on the Erie Canal trail before l hurt my back and second is l used to have a huge collection of the Swarovski figurines but most got broke when my kids were young and fooling around while l was working and knocked the mirrored showcase over...l think only one survived out of probably 30! l bought them in Germany when my husband was stationed there. So sad! If l could do it over I'd put my treasures away until the kids are moved out lol!! Thanks for the tutorial.. looks a bit advanced for me but that won't stop me from trying!!
+Tracy Ruth Hi Tracy! Happy New Year to you as well! I, too had many figurines that were gifts from my wedding (a hundred years ago) that have also been broken or dropped!! I still have a dog and cat that were wedding gifts as my hubby brought a dog in to our marriage and I brought a cat!!! I agree, they are beautiful but so fragile! So now I look at them in the store LOL!!! Tracy, I think you can do this ring. It is just a matter of practice and lots of patience :) Try it when you have lots of time and no one will interrupt you and you have coffee and something chocolate to get you through! So nice to talk to you and bead with you in 2016!
Thank you 🙏 This is an older video so bear with me. I was learning how to film as I was trying to teach. Fast forward past the long parts lol 😂 There is a second video after this one and a beaded clasp video. They are all in my Bracelet Playlist. Here’s the first part ua-cam.com/video/3nddUTvKyeo/v-deo.html
Hi Stephanie. Happy New Year ! Glad you're back with a new tutorial. I love the ring how pretty. Love the style of the ring good taste. Thank you Stephanie for taking time out to show us your art of jewelry making. God bless my friend. You are good at your craft. One of your fans !
What a great idea to use the pins! I love your creative energy you inspire with such ease to us all learning. You really create such gorgeous pieces! Thank you, and "Happy 2016"
Cool ist zwar für mich bissel groß aber bei Ihnen schaut er gut aus. Wo kann man sich sicher sein das die Perlen gleiche größe haben? Habe schon einige bestellt die leider nicht gleich waren und das schaut auch nicht gut aus.
Another awesome tutorial to begin the New Year, thank you Stephanie! I am seeing "crosses" and wondering if this is a trend? You are tempting me to try rings! My wish list for the New Year: could you compile a beginners beading stash list with colors and sizes of beads? And, I would love a herringbone necklace incorporating both flat and circular herringbone? somehow? 'Day to Night bracelet is my all time favorite..... still. Sending healthy wishes from a very wet and quaking 'left coast'. Thank you once again.
+WHITNEYSTUDIOS Thank you so much! I didn't actually intend crosses but yes, I see crosses too! I think the Pacific Opal bicones accentuate that. I love Brick Stitch and peyote in this way because everyone sees something different in the design! And speaking of Pacific, I hope our beloved "Left Coast" stops quaking! One of my favorite places on earth!
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Oh and I am going to do a beginners bead stash and suggest bead sizes, colors etc! Coming up next week sometime. You read my mind on that one!
Hola mi nombre es Mary, te felicito por esos trabajos tan maravillosos, todo lo que haces es precioso, hermoso ❤️quisiera por favor, si te es posible saber la referencia de las beads #11 y #15/0, que usas. Ya que es un color precioso.... Thank you very much....
Hello Mary - All materials are listed in the description box under the video. Click the down arrow or show more and the box will open. Colors are listed there 😃
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry ok. Buena tarde, muchísimas Gracias, yo ya los miré allí, pero para comprar me pidieron un número de referencia, tu solo tienes un dato de color. Pero igualmente agradezco muchísimo tu cortesía al responder tan pronto mi mensaje, si te es posible darme el número de referencia, también estaré muy agradecida contigo. Ya que con la referencia de solo el tono No encontró la niña de la tienda donde fuí. Dios te Bendiga 🙏❤️🌷
Stephanie, can you tell me where you buy your milky bicones, I'm having problems finding them. I would like to buy different colors but I only can find one color here and there so buying them in different places I have to pay shipping several times. So if you can help me that would be great, have a blessed day and keep sharing your Beautiful Tutorials.
Hi Margie and thank you fir your nice comment😄 The milky beads are Swarovski opal beads. They come in many beautiful colors. I but from many sources such as FusionBeads.com, FiremountainGems.com, Artbeads.com, Etsy shops and even on eBay sometimes. If you are outside the US then check out my Facebook page for sources. There is a list there - I will try to find it and pin it to the top page. Otherwise, let me know where you are and I'll post a query on Facebook 😀
I absolutely love watching your video tutorials! Your tutorials are very well done, great instructions and I love how you laugh at things. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I am definitely going to make this ring. :)
Sorry to bother you. I have been trying to find 6x9 beads on etsy and other sites but nothing much available in that anywhere. Most places like Potomac Beads or Fire Mountain or any I have gone to have that size. I found a few... not the best colors.... that can be shipped from China. Could you tell me where you find yours?? Thanks for you time!
This size oval faceted bead seems to have gotten lost somewhere LOL So I have started using the Swarovski mini oval bead. Here is link to Fusion beads. I use the 10mm. It works quite well. www.fusionbeads.com/swarovski-crystal-oval-mini-bead/color_family/Purple
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question. I did happen to find some, could not find much of anything using 6X9mm search, so decided to swap the numbers to 9X6mm and actually found some. LOL Also, I figured a different size, though, would work ok as long as it was close and your answer answered that thought for me.. Again, thank you for taking the time to answer, very kind of you!!
I have looked for the purple, and other crystal oval beads at Joann's and Michael's and on Etsy. Any other ideas,especially on line? This is such a lovely ring.
l am one the people who was waiting for this tutorial. it s beautifull thank you so much. you are really perfeccionist whit this stitch. top. lhave a question. l have montana blue 3mm swarovski. what colors beads would go whit that? would you please make me a macth color for montana blue?met l am so confuse.met l am terrible whit colors. thank you so much for your hard work
+Henk Wilgenhof Hi Henk! I glad I finally got this one done for you :) Sorry it took so long!!! With 3mm Montana blue (one of my favorite Swarovski colors) I'd use a Deep Blue center bead) like Deep sapphire swarovski, or a clear AB Crystal if you want a lighter center stone. Use the Light bronze Delicas for the two rows and then a either a palace green seed bead (the opal one by swarovski) or for your accent color or continue with the clear ab if you want to keep it two colors. Use the Metallic Bronze to go around the ring and band with the palace Opal green or clear AB seed bead in the center of the band. Hope this helps or at least gets you started on some color ideas :)
Thanks so much, will check it out, also what is a monti bead. I don't usually do a lot of beading but just love your stuff and want to also try one of your rings. I am hooked!
Hi Paula☃ I'm glad my tutorials have inspired you to join the beading manua😄 A Montee is a little crystal with a crisis cross channel on the back for your thread to pass through. Check it out online . search for Swarovski Crystal Montee
Hi Stephanie, I love this ring, I want to use the same colors, for the love of God. I have looked everywhere for these two colors and I can't find it nowhere. I would appreciate it you could tell me where you bought these color beads. I have a headache looking with no luck (PLEASE HELP) have a very blessed day. 11.0 matte metallic pine green. 11.0 matte copper purple.
Hi Margie! I bought the beads from Fusion Beads website. Try a Swarovski oval Mini bead (10x7mm) for the center bead. I hope this helps. They might not have the exact colors but there should be something close!
Guess they don't make this size anymore. I, like others, have searched everywhere. The closest is Swarovski #5051 - 10x8 and 8x6. A bit too fat across, not enough oval. Too bad Michaels and such don't carry them anymore, either.
p.s. One of these days I will catch on to uploading some photos on the Facebook page. It's a fairly frustrating process for me. I'm not a natural at that, that's for sure... lol...
This ring is beautiful. You are so talented and I love your videos. In the video you said that the oval bead was 9x6. The materials list says 6x9. I have been looking everywhere and can't find either of those sizes. Where do you buy these bead from? Thanks....
Hi DDK😃 Sorry about the confusion. 9x6 oval bead is fine. I bought mine from Michael's or AC Moore craft stores. You can find them on Etsy also. You can use a Swarovski mini oval bead 10x8mm. Try Fusion Beads- most online bead websites have the Swarovski mini! ps Thanks for the nice comment💐
Stephanie I just love you!! I played around trying to make this earlier whilst waiting for my bf to get home from work to take me to Hobby Lobby...I have today purchased my first Delicas and I love them. I wish my store had more color options but I did get the Lt. Metallic bronze, and some other things. P.S. My white wildfire snapped on me when i was just practicing!!! It does sound a little dry? If that's possible? I am now using black. I have never done brick stitch but so far my ring is good...I place the blame on my teacher HAHA. You are so awesome. You teach so well. Best tutorials ever!!! I'll post a pic when done. XOXOX 😚
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Oops posted b4 I finished lol I love your enthusiasm!!! Keep it up🌞 This ring is a challenge one so I’m thrilled you are giving it a go! Keep on beading and having fun Nd thank you so much for including me in your beading journey 🙏🌞🌸
Sweet Stephanie~ Happy 2016🎉😃 Always nice to kick back & watch your vids! U kno how much I luv ya. I think your just the best. Your warming personality is infectious. 😉 What a lovely ring. And all the different color choices! So pretty! Looking forward to the herringbone stitch that you mentioned at the end of the vid. I actually haven't done herringbone yet, but have been wanting to. So I'm excited for that!! 👍😃😍 Hope your having a wonderful night. Sending much 💜 your way ✨ 😘
+rebeccajns Hello rebecca! So nice to hear from you sweetie :) Glad you like the ring and the tubular Herringbone will be coming up! If you haven't done flat Herringbone, check out the Day to Night Bracelet on my UA-cam channel! It was at the end of this tutorial and is a good introduction to flat Herringbone (if you use big beads) I fell asleep early last night so I missed most comments until this morning! so nice to wake up to
Hi Barb💖 You might have to adjust your seed seed beads as you go along. The size difference is small so see how your beads are fitting and add if you need to😄
Hi Bobbie - In a nutshell, the bangle should fit around the widest part of your hand with your thumb against your palm. I go into fit on each of the bangle videos :)
happy New year 2016 to you Stephanie and thank you so much for all the beautiful jewelry tutorials! they are all so beautiful colours and combinations pieces we can learn from you, please do keep them coming xx
Hi Anita and thank you for the nice comment😄 Swarovski mini oval beads will work great for this ring. The 10x8 oval will work fine. The bead I used seems to have disappeared from stores! It's from JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's but I haven't been able to find it recently. Here is a link for you. They are available on most online bead websites. www.artbeads.com/swarovski-5051-mini-oval.html
I'm so new that I never seen anyone bead off the thread bridge yet. You the first teacher/artist that I've seen do it. A brand new teaching for me. Thanks Stephanie! 🌸🌺🌹🥀🌹🌺🌸 😘
+Claire bacchi You’re very welcome 😉
So pretty. I don't always have the right sized beads but I work with what I have thanks to your encouragement and wonderful teaching design skills
Thank you SO MUCH for your AMAZING tutorials!! I got away from seed beading because some went out of style, but you make classy, timeless -always stylish jewelry! You have me so excited to start sewing beads again. I injured my spine working in the medical field and all my hard work schooling seemed wasted, but now I'm going to start kind of a variety website/blog. I'm hoping to start a fashion line and about beauty, home decorating tips, life style and hair styling tips. I did hair for 14 years while slowly going to collage.. and best of all... I will be able to make jewelry along with house decor to sell -the things that I love to do! Thank you for giving me a purpose in life again.
I felt like most of me died when I had to give up working and lost purpose other than hoping to help people. You help teach people to get to enjoy making absolutely beautiful unique jewelry that you can't buy at a store. THANKS AGAIN! I love your tutorials!! They are amazing!! You're a great teacher! Pretty & sweet too! 😊❤️
Diana, thank you so much for sharing your story😘 I'm so glad the tutorials are helping you with your transitions!!! Turning to creative pursuits is a wonderful way to start a new chapter of life! I wish you all the best and please hang in there...Stephanie
Восхищаюсь вашими работами!!!💞 Великолепно!!!!!!! Вы мастер высшей категории!!! Всегда царские украшения выходят с ваших рук!!!
I love all your work, the bracelet made with silver lined Pewter I have it on right now it looks great, have done quiet a few things from your tutorials.
I remember the 1st. ring a made (still keep), but a dew days back I made another one, still needs the band, but I had no problems this time.
Thank you very much Stephanie for all yout tutorials, tips, and patience.
Still live on northern coast of Spain. Beading is addictive, God bless you
I have searched everywhere for the 6x9 crystal for this ring and the matching earrings and finally I found them in a shop online. It's actually called a football bead by Swarovski. I just finished the hematite necklace, It took a month and a half to finally get the 6mm hematites ( and now I've got my necklace and I absolutely love it! The only problem I have is that the 6mm beads are magnetic so they keep wanting to stick to each other and the 2mms were supposed to come in the silver, but they are as dark as the rest) I still love my necklace! Working on the day to night bracelet too. In silver and bronze.I wish I were as talented as you are Stephanie! I almost gave up beading all together because my jewelry just isn't selling, it's only costing.But I've decided to still make jewelry for myself, and gifts. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent!
Just wanna say that I tried this using a 6mm bicone instead of the oval bead and it worked! Used five delicas on either side of the first row instead of seven and the rest fell into place :)
Great!
This ring is absolutely gorgeous! I’m just a novice in beading and your tutorial makes me want to learn/try this really bad! Thank you for the upload and easy/well explained instruction!
I'm glad that you note in the description box the beads you use and their different color variations in multiple projects of the same thing. ty
Great idea to use a pin to help keep your project in alignment. I'll have to keep this in mind. It's also helpful in holding a small project in the beginning. I usually use a large stop bead so that I have something to grab onto, but using a pin could be useful too. TY
This the most fun and exciting way to work. I was fainthearted for a while, but this ring actually came out great. I think the spontaneous nature of brick stitching is fabulous. Each successive row seemed to make the last one more even and straight. To begin with, my oval bead took 9 Delicas instead of your 7, so I had to wing it all the way through. But this was really fun. Definitely will do another and splash out with color more. That is also a great feature of this ring. The esthetic decisions are possible all along the process. Thanks agan, Stephanie, for the fantastic design work and perfect tutorial. Don't listen to people that say you talk too much. The best little nuggets of information are in the sweet soft muttering!
+Judith Lenzin Thanks Judith😃🙏🌻 I must admit I was a bit too chatty back then. I think I have more of a balance now. Judith, you have a naturally curious and creative approach to beading. A wonderful quality in an artist! The joy you get from this craft is evident in your lovely comments. You’re a natural!
I made my first ring tonight and I love it. You teach so well and I honestly love all of your work. Victorian jewelry and your colors are always perfect for what I love to wear. I tried using the 3mm bicones or rondelles and they actually were to small. For my delica bead to come up to half way of the bicone I had to use my 4mm which made me so happy because I have more colors and 2ab in my 4mm. I am going to go back and see what tutorial I have not done yet just as soon as I make a couple of more rings. Great advice on doing the band separate. I have 2 that have stretched to large. I think I can cut the band where I will have enough line to tie off and just do the new bands. Thanks again Stephanie and I am on pins and beads waiting for your next beautiful tutorial.
+Melinda Davis Thank you Melinda!!!! I am so happy you have played with your beads to make this ring work for you!!! My goal is to teach is such a way that promotes interpretation! Love that - means I am doing ok with my instruction! Thanks :) Stretching of beaded rings is inevitable! I wasn't going to even include rings in these tuts but had many requests for them. So yes, sewing that band on separately is a good idea. Also, you can sew through the ends of the ring again to tighten it. Give that a try too:) More tuts coming up!
Wow what a lovely beautiful ring, I just loved it.I just started learning this month.I just found right now your lovely channel.its a great tips.I really appreciate it.💙🦋💙💎🦋💎
Thank you so much!
i love your designs. you never cease to amaze me! i love the opal colors of the swarovski bicones! they seem to sparkle the most and have the most color.
Thank you so much Tiffany😊🌻🙏 You’re very kind!
i actually made a pair of earrings with your design that came out absolutely beautiful. the center bead was a little shorter so i did modify but i love the color on them. there is a gold and purple luster on one side and a hematite color on the other side so they are very sparkly. i put them together so the purple and gold are in the front and the hematite in the back so you get a different look from behind if you have your hair up. i absolutely love them. ill post a pic of them on your facebook page when i take some pictures :)
I know this tutorial is from 5 years ago but I absolutely love to watch your tutorials. You are a really good instructor and extremely talented. Thank you for sharing!!! Love this ring too!!!
Thank you so much!
I think your one of the best teachers. Your very understandable, you think about questions we may ask. I have so many ideas to work on because of your videos. thank you for taking your time to teach us.
My pleasure Terry💐 It gives me great joy to hear that you are enjoying these tutorials! Thank you for the kind and supportive words🌹🌹🌹
Stephanie, i just love your channel. You are such an inspiration. I am a couple of years late on seeing this video, but you just gave me an inspiring thought to sew around round and weird shaped beads. Beautiful creation.
Thank you so much 🙏😊🌻 I ‘m so glad the video gave you some inspiration 🌸
Stephanie, I would love to see this style ring made in summer colors. Thank you for giving me hours of pleasure watching and learning your amazing tutorials.
I will do a tutorial on some Spring/Summer colors. I think its time to revisit this one!
Oh my, so beautiful rings, dear Stefani! Each one has its own beauty! The last jewelry' pieces you're showing are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous artistic designs jewelry! Have a great week!
Thank you! I think it takes one to know one! And yes, I've been going back and forth along your time line and your teaching style has definitely honed to perfection. But I do like the older tutorials too. It's a pleasure to see the evolution. Don't you just love to watch vintage I Love Lucy's? Same joy.
Thank you Judith 😘
After viewing the tutorial, this ring looks huge!!! It isn't really big. I think it is the camera angle that makes it look so big. Its about an inch at its longest if you use Miyuki beads. Just thought I'd mention that :)
Oh thank you, thank you, thank you Stephanie! I've been waiting for this tutorial!!!! loooooove this ring so so much!!! 💗🌹
You are so welcome Sandra!!! So sorry I took forever to make this :) I'm so glad I finally did it and you like it YAY!!!
Hay reproducción en inglés gracias.
you're such a great teacher!! I love your designs!
G'Day My Happy Sounding Friend, Welcome back "Master" your little grasshopper has missed your masterful teachings and I was beginning to have withdrawal pangs at not seeing your postings. Thank goodness you are back!!!!! Love the rings... all of them!!!! Will have to make them into earrings as they are to long to fit my "chubby little fingers" They will match the pair that I have already made (and they are also my favourite as well) and they are the ones I wear the most. I have been working on my beading Embroidery design and I think that the stitch (that I didn't know what it was) is called "diagonal weave". I left the name of the designer on your last post. As she doesn't speak English and is silent throughout the video and in some places it is very hard to follow what she is doing. I had to stop ..start so much that it took many a long hour to to finally work it out. Even the name of the design wasn't in English. I have made a small sample and if I can I will send a photo of it by email. Check her site out as she does some great pieces and if you see it you may know what I am talking about. It would be great if you could do a video on how to do it. That's what makes your videos so great as you take each step slowly and clearly for any level of beader to follow. Will keep you up to date with the "Grand Design" as I progress. Don't forget to show us the "Tools" you got for Christmas. not sure if I mention that my Hubby brought me a box of 72 Derwent pencils.... nearly had a fit as they are very expensive but he thought that it would help me work out my designs when I draw them so that I can achieve good colour balance with my beads before starting. He has been around me long enough to know and understand the way in which I do my creative work.....Iv'e trained him well so I think that I will keep him. It's not being silly it's called being "Happy" so don't change, be Happy all the time as this makes your videos so enjoyable.... that's why we all watch to catch some of that "Happiness" we get when we watch!!!! Glad you finally caught up with us and joined us in 2016 and I just can't wait to have a year full of fun, writing lovely novels (to you) and making and learning wonderful designs. Welcome back and stay warm my little polar bear....hear from you soon and now it's good night from your wonder Down Under on this rather warm evening ......Blessings XXOX
+Chris Phillips Hi Chris! I think its about 3am Down Under so by the time you read this it will be "Good Morning"my dear beading sister! Thank you for the kind comment on the rings. I have a love/hate relationship with Brick Stitch that is becoming more loving each time I use it!!! I will be looking at the Diagonal Weave stitch and will wait patiently for your picture of bead embroidery! You might have to teach me as I've gotten a few requests for embroidered pieces. I didn't buy the tools yet - my hubby wants me to order them so when I receive them I'l post a pic! Your hub is a keeper and I think you should share him with me (the cooking part and generous gift part hahaha)!!! I have my "silly days" which are wonderful visits to me and I always want to share the love and silliness with others! Today is shaping up pretty good so far lol After being on this earth for such a long time I choose happy and silly :) and beading and sharing with all my lovely beading friends as well as non beading friends (who love my work but don't understand my obsession with beading everything around me haha)The temps here are dropping lower every day - teens and 20's F. I will be watching the 2016 Australian Open Tennis Championships and dreaming of the lovely warm/hot temps while I shiver in New England!!! Stay cool...Blessings my Down Under Wonder :)
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry I am waiting for some beads to arrive (today or tomorrow) to start the weave as I have only done it in beads to work it out. As soon as I have completed the section I will send you a photo. I hope you don't get to tied watching the Tennis as I believe it will be played during your night time. I'm not a tennis fan and even dislike it more as it completely (a long with other tournaments being played now as well as Cricket) as take over the TV and now I don't even turn it on.... not that it was that great before hand but there were some shows I do enjoy watching while I bead. XXOOX
Стефани, здравствуйте!!! Вы невероятно талантливый , кропотливый и аккуратный мастер своего дела!!! Молодец!!! Я по вашим МК сделала разные Украшения и очень вам благодарна, спасибо, что вы есть!!!!
I've been looking for a cross-like looking ring/component for some time and this project fits perfectly! Thank you for sharing this video!
My pleasure brandy💜
"I'm a little silly today - but, you know, it's one of those silly days" :-D I simply LOVE those comments from you, Stephanie. You can't see it, but I'm sitting here in DK, smiling widely at you (your hands, that is) on my screen :-D :-D :-D. Wish you could see all the smiles, you get from us beaders following you. You are so sweet and funny and it's always a great pleasure to learn from you. So Thank You for being you!
+zillemor nessumsar Aww thank you so much 🙏😃🌻 You made my day😘
Dear Stephane, after 6 or 7 years, I still have the one a beaded, it was very tricky. I might give it another try and use another color. Its really a gorgeous ring.
Greetings! From northern coast of Spain, remember me?
i want lo learn how to do it,its really beautiful,i love it
Thank you 🙏
Love all your jewellery have made a few things and getting better .
Stephanie I can see a bracelet made from that ring. Tomorrow I am going to go to Michaels and see if I can find that bead if not I will order the mini ones from Art Beads. I love watching your video. To bad you don't live in Nebraska I would invite you over for coffee and beading then a little shopping at my local bead store.
I so wish I lived in Nebraska right now !!! 💖💚💜 Sounds like a perfect day to me! A little coffee, a little beading and top it off with a little bead shopping😄😀😃 You are so sweet💐 I was just talking about a bracelet for this ring on the Pearly Girly tutorial! Great idea and would be so much fun to design! Earrings too and a pendant!!! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! I'm glad this ring inspired you😍 😎😃
I love this ring idea of yours So very much. I have made one over again now 5 times, learning (trying to) each time I make a mastake. I had the Miyki delicas and other seedbeads but not untill i had the toho seedbeads did I start to get a finish like yours. I love ur colour palette you work with. I wish I had a quarter of ur talent.
Thank you again.
Thank you DaMon for your kind comment! I'm glad you stuck with it because this ring is hard to make. It looks easy but to get it right it takes lots of practice! Using Toho is a great idea because sometimes one brand of bead works better for a beader than another to get the results. Bravo!
Felicitaciones por tus videos. Dios te bendiga siempre. Gracias por compartir tu talento y arte, erés la mejor. Where do you buy your oval faceted from?. Un abrazo desde Colombia - Bogotá
Great projects, Stephanie. Going to make the Tapestry Ring; love it, and all of your designs.
Wow I missed your comment Pat😬 Thanks for watching and for your very kind comment🌸💐🌷
You are a great beading teacher. Thank you for making all these great videos!
Thank you so much for the kind words😃
Love the ring! I tried following along, but after I added the 2nd crystal, and was attempting to add 2 Delicas, I couldn't get the Delica next to the crystal to sit right. It wanted to lay sideways. I'm going to try it again. Thank you for all your tutorials. I've made quite a few of your pieces and love them.
Stephanie, I'm from Texas the "big state" I rarely get on Facebook but if you have info that will help me out I will definitely go there, many thanks for answering me back as quick as you did ... Have a blessed day😇.
Absolutely STUNNING!!!! I always get super excited when I get notification that you've posted another video. For the most part I usually have all the supplies on hand or with your designs I can change things and make it work with what I do have. Keep up the great work!
+Aimee Upchurch Thank you Aimee!!! You are so kind!!!
hi stephani this ring is awesome i would really try this .its fun to listen to your tutorials and learn at the same time, forget everything and just be in the beading world.I always have great time watching your tutorials.thank you god bless
Thank you Swati💜💚😍 You are very kind and supportive!
LOVE the ring and the earrings you showed.
Thank you😃😄🌻
what a fantastic tutorial!!! Thank you so much for all your amazing videos xxx
Thank you so much for that info. Love the close up for us visual challenge people, thank you again.
WOW! That Amethyst Ring is so gorgeous!( Next project!) :) And why would we not want to make all of your pieces they are all beautiful and not so complicated! You are so good at (Dare I say it!?) Teaching! Yes. Thank you so much Stephanie! :)
+Sharon Godbout WOW! Thank you for the compliment Sharon!!! I strive to be a good teacher so I really appreciate you saying so!!! I had so much fun making these rings. I fell in love with Brick Stitch again. Yeah, that Amethyst one is a good one (not complimenting me, the beads are the stars here! They make me look good) Thanks again my sister in beading...Enjoy!
Beautiful ring. I love the color and design of this ring :) Could you show in a video some other designs ? I'm not to clever on designing a ring like this :) I'm getting a bit better at doing some smaller rings. I know you just can't wait to make more lol.
+Cindy Mitchell Of course! I’ll be doing more brick stitch rings in the future😎
If you are right handed the light should be on your left side. This will get rid of or decrease the shadows.
Absolutely beautiful as all of your jewelry is. Thank you
+yo mama Thank you 🙏🌻
One more thing, I love this ring as it is, but could you make a smaller, daintier, mini-sized version of it. I love it, but it's a little too big for my hand. I'm curious to see what you come up with. Thanks a million.
After requesting a scaled down version of this ring, I did a little research and found that there really isn't an oval crystal that is small enough to make this ring daintier. It looks like we would have to use a "Gemduo, Mini-Gemduo, or an IrisDuo". These beads would work, but you wouldn't have that faceted crystal look. Just a thought.
I have so many beads that I was trying to figure out what to do with them. You gave me different ideas to use them.
+Terry Sanders Thanks Terry! Yup, we always find a use for any bead we have. I use beads from years ago for new projects :) Beading is good for the environment haha we reduce our beads by making beautiful things, we reuse our stash beads, and we recycle older pieces by taking them apart and making new things haha :) Beading is all around a good thing LOL :)
ok I will... and the green rin could go with your Victorian chic necklace that you did in emeralds I think it would go good
+rebecca rafferty Absolutely!!!
Happy New Year! You've started it with a bang! Such a beautiful ring, Stephanie! You brought back a few memories for me--one is l used to ride my bike on the Erie Canal trail before l hurt my back and second is l used to have a huge collection of the Swarovski figurines but most got broke when my kids were young and fooling around while l was working and knocked the mirrored showcase over...l think only one survived out of probably 30! l bought them in Germany when my husband was stationed there. So sad! If l could do it over I'd put my treasures away until the kids are moved out lol!! Thanks for the tutorial.. looks a bit advanced for me but that won't stop me from trying!!
+Tracy Ruth Hi Tracy! Happy New Year to you as well! I, too had many figurines that were gifts from my wedding
(a hundred years ago) that have also been broken or dropped!! I still have a dog and cat that were wedding gifts as my hubby brought a dog in to our marriage and I brought a cat!!! I agree, they are beautiful but so fragile! So now I look at them in the store LOL!!! Tracy, I think you can do this ring. It is just a matter of practice and lots of patience :) Try it when you have lots of time and no one will interrupt you and you have coffee and something chocolate to get you through! So nice to talk to you and bead with you in 2016!
OMG! Brick stitch! Plus, I''m so excited because I have a few oval beads already!!!
It’s so nice when we have the materials in the stash 😆😆😆🌸
I can't wait to try and make one of these Rings!!!!They are beautiful!
Thank you💖 So much fun to make and doesn't require tons of beads😄😃😀😎
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Could you use 6 lb. Fireline? Would it be strong enough?
+Pam W. Yes I think 6lb would be fine 😀
So beautifully done.
Thank you so much Ennis🌺
I just love this ring . Do you know were I can get the oval bead hard
to find. Or can I use a different kind of bead
Stephanie, can you tell me where to find this Oval faceted bead, cannot find this !!! thanks for your answer ! Love it so much !
Stephanie, where can I find your video on the Day to Night bracelet? I love the look of it!
Thank you 🙏 This is an older video so bear with me. I was learning how to film as I was trying to teach. Fast forward past the long parts lol 😂 There is a second video after this one and a beaded clasp video. They are all in my Bracelet Playlist. Here’s the first part ua-cam.com/video/3nddUTvKyeo/v-deo.html
Awesome, I found them both and the update on the peyote loop! I will be making this ASAP! Thank you!
Hi Stephanie. Happy New Year ! Glad you're back with a new tutorial. I love the ring how pretty. Love the style of the ring good taste. Thank you Stephanie for taking time out to show us your art of jewelry making. God bless my friend. You are good at your craft. One of your fans !
Thank you so much for your lovely comment Karherine💜 You are so kind! I am glad you like the ring! Xoxo
where can I find the 6x9 faceted beads
Wowww que preciosidad de joyería estoy encantada muchas felicidades tus manos son magia 🥰😍🤩👏👏👏
What a great idea to use the pins! I love your creative energy you inspire with such ease to us all learning. You really create such gorgeous pieces! Thank you, and "Happy 2016"
+Linda Dudas Thank you so much Linda! I love sharing and teaching what I know about beading :) Happy 2016 to you too !!!
Linda Dudas I'm amazed at all the things she teaches! A wonderful teacher! 😉
I think the ring is awesome! Can't wait to try it. I am a huge ring fan. Thank you for the tute.
+Ansje Loef You are very welcome Ansje :)
sorry, I forgot to leave a comment I love love love, your tutorials easy to follow cause I am a slow learner
Thank you 🙏
Cool ist zwar für mich bissel groß aber bei Ihnen schaut er gut aus. Wo kann man sich sicher sein das die Perlen gleiche größe haben? Habe schon einige bestellt die leider nicht gleich waren und das schaut auch nicht gut aus.
I am SO glad you did this tut! I've been wanting to make this! Thank you!!!!
Thank you Lisa💐 Sorry it took so long 💚💙💜 Enjoy!
Stephanie! I found it!!! Yay! Going to make it now lol.
Another awesome tutorial to begin the New Year, thank you Stephanie! I am seeing "crosses" and wondering if this is a trend? You are tempting me to try rings!
My wish list for the New Year: could you compile a beginners beading stash list with colors and sizes of beads?
And, I would love a herringbone necklace incorporating both flat and circular herringbone? somehow? 'Day to Night bracelet is my all time favorite..... still.
Sending healthy wishes from a very wet and quaking 'left coast'.
Thank you once again.
+WHITNEYSTUDIOS Thank you so much! I didn't actually intend crosses but yes, I see crosses too! I think the Pacific Opal bicones accentuate that. I love Brick Stitch and peyote in this way because everyone sees something different in the design! And speaking of Pacific, I hope our beloved "Left Coast" stops quaking! One of my favorite places on earth!
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Oh and I am going to do a beginners bead stash and suggest bead sizes, colors etc! Coming up next week sometime. You read my mind on that one!
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry, yay! you know what is said about great minds? :)
Hola mi nombre es Mary, te felicito por esos trabajos tan maravillosos, todo lo que haces es precioso, hermoso ❤️quisiera por favor, si te es posible saber la referencia de las beads #11 y #15/0, que usas. Ya que es un color precioso.... Thank you very much....
Hello Mary - All materials are listed in the description box under the video. Click the down arrow or show more and the box will open. Colors are listed there 😃
@@BronzeponyBeadedJewelry ok. Buena tarde, muchísimas Gracias, yo ya los miré allí, pero para comprar me pidieron un número de referencia, tu solo tienes un dato de color. Pero igualmente agradezco muchísimo tu cortesía al responder tan pronto mi mensaje, si te es posible darme el número de referencia, también estaré muy agradecida contigo. Ya que con la referencia de solo el tono No encontró la niña de la tienda donde fuí. Dios te Bendiga 🙏❤️🌷
Stephanie, can you tell me where you buy your milky bicones, I'm having problems finding them. I would like to buy different colors but I only can find one color here and there so buying them in different places I have to pay shipping several times. So if you can help me that would be great, have a blessed day and keep sharing your Beautiful Tutorials.
Hi Margie and thank you fir your nice comment😄 The milky beads are Swarovski opal beads. They come in many beautiful colors. I but from many sources such as FusionBeads.com, FiremountainGems.com, Artbeads.com, Etsy shops and even on eBay sometimes. If you are outside the US then check out my Facebook page for sources. There is a list there - I will try to find it and pin it to the top page. Otherwise, let me know where you are and I'll post a query on Facebook 😀
I absolutely love watching your video tutorials! Your tutorials are very well done, great instructions and I love how you laugh at things. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I am definitely going to make this ring. :)
Thank you so much Dianne!!! I'm so happy you are going to make this ring! Its my favorite - I wear this often!
Sorry to bother you. I have been trying to find 6x9 beads on etsy and other sites but nothing much available in that anywhere. Most places like Potomac Beads or Fire Mountain or any I have gone to have that size. I found a few... not the best colors.... that can be shipped from China. Could you tell me where you find yours?? Thanks for you time!
This size oval faceted bead seems to have gotten lost somewhere LOL So I have started using the Swarovski mini oval bead. Here is link to Fusion beads. I use the 10mm. It works quite well. www.fusionbeads.com/swarovski-crystal-oval-mini-bead/color_family/Purple
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question. I did happen to find some, could not find much of anything using 6X9mm search, so decided to swap the numbers to 9X6mm and actually found some. LOL Also, I figured a different size, though, would work ok as long as it was close and your answer answered that thought for me.. Again, thank you for taking the time to answer, very kind of you!!
Awesome! Lucky for me there's a Michaels right down the street :) . I will check out Firemountain gems as well. Thanks so much!!!!!!
those rings are beautiful
Thank you for all the brilliant tutorials! Do you have a variation of this with just one bicone instead of three? Thanks.
You’re very welcome 😉 I don’t have that variation!
Hi Stephanie, Can you please tell me what size needle are you using here? It looks so sturdy compared to most beading needles. Thank you!
Great video. How would one go about sizing the ring. I have a very small finger. I can't figure this out. Thanks!
Happy New Year. I love the purple one so that's the one I will make. So excited to see a new video from you. Thank you so much.
+marge kipling Thanks marge! So nice to see your beautiful smile again! Have fun with this one :) Its my pleasure to share this with you!
I have looked for the purple, and other crystal oval beads at
Joann's and Michael's and on Etsy. Any other ideas,especially on line?
This is such a lovely ring.
+Carolyn Gregory Such an elusive bead! I think Firemountain Gems might be worth a try 😃
Working on the Heaven Bracelet...it's a beauty ...thanks
+Maggie R You are most welcome Maggie! I'm glad you like this bracelet! Post on FB if you like.
l am one the people who was waiting for this tutorial. it s beautifull thank you so much. you are really perfeccionist whit this stitch. top. lhave a question. l have montana blue 3mm swarovski. what colors beads would go whit that? would you please make me a macth color for montana blue?met l am so confuse.met l am terrible whit colors. thank you so much for your hard work
+Henk Wilgenhof Hi Henk! I glad I finally got this one done for you :) Sorry it took so long!!! With 3mm Montana blue (one of my favorite Swarovski colors) I'd use a Deep Blue center bead) like Deep sapphire swarovski, or a clear AB Crystal if you want a lighter center stone. Use the Light bronze Delicas for the two rows and then a either a palace green seed bead (the opal one by swarovski) or for your accent color or continue with the clear ab if you want to keep it two colors. Use the Metallic Bronze to go around the ring and band with the palace Opal green or clear AB seed bead in the center of the band. Hope this helps or at least gets you started on some color ideas :)
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry thank you so much. l still have to buy the oval bead. thank you
+Henk Wilgenhof You are most welcome Henk💖
Thanks so much, will check it out, also what is a monti bead. I don't usually do a lot of beading but just love your stuff and want to also try one of your rings. I am hooked!
Hi Paula☃ I'm glad my tutorials have inspired you to join the beading manua😄 A Montee is a little crystal with a crisis cross channel on the back for your thread to pass through. Check it out online . search for Swarovski Crystal Montee
Hi Stephanie, I love this ring, I want to use the same colors, for the love of God. I have looked everywhere for these two colors and I can't find it nowhere. I would appreciate it you could tell me where you bought these color beads. I have a headache looking with no luck (PLEASE HELP)
have a very blessed day.
11.0 matte metallic pine green.
11.0 matte copper purple.
Hi Margie! I bought the beads from Fusion Beads website. Try a Swarovski oval Mini bead (10x7mm) for the center bead. I hope this helps. They might not have the exact colors but there should be something close!
Guess they don't make this size anymore. I, like others, have searched everywhere. The closest is Swarovski #5051 - 10x8 and 8x6. A bit too fat across, not enough oval. Too bad Michaels and such don't carry them anymore, either.
hi stephani thank you so much for this tutorial. i made this ring, its very pretty waiting for next tutorial.god bless you
NO MORE WORDS FOR THIS TALENTED YOUNG LADY THANKS💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
😘😘😘
p.s. One of these days I will catch on to uploading some photos on the Facebook page. It's a fairly frustrating process for me. I'm not a natural at that, that's for sure... lol...
This ring is beautiful. You are so talented and I love your videos. In the video you said that the oval bead was 9x6. The materials list says 6x9. I have been looking everywhere and can't find either of those sizes. Where do you buy these bead from? Thanks....
Hi DDK😃 Sorry about the confusion. 9x6 oval bead is fine. I bought mine from Michael's or AC Moore craft stores. You can find them on Etsy also. You can use a Swarovski mini oval bead 10x8mm. Try Fusion Beads- most online bead websites have the Swarovski mini! ps Thanks for the nice comment💐
Stephanie, you're delightful.
Aww thank you Pat🌸😃🌺
love this, where is the description box?
Hi Paula💖 The description box is under the video. There could be an arrow as a link you click on it a "show more" link to click. Give it a try☃☃☃
Stephanie I just love you!! I played around trying to make this earlier whilst waiting for my bf to get home from work to take me to Hobby Lobby...I have today purchased my first Delicas and I love them. I wish my store had more color options but I did get the Lt. Metallic bronze, and some other things. P.S. My white wildfire snapped on me when i was just practicing!!! It does sound a little dry? If that's possible? I am now using black. I have never done brick stitch but so far my ring is good...I place the blame on my teacher HAHA. You are so awesome. You teach so well. Best tutorials ever!!! I'll post a pic when done. XOXOX 😚
+Thank you so much Jen 💖🙏🌻
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Oops posted b4 I finished lol I love your enthusiasm!!! Keep it up🌞 This ring is a challenge one so I’m thrilled you are giving it a go! Keep on beading and having fun Nd thank you so much for including me in your beading journey 🙏🌞🌸
que belleza no me canso de admirar sus obras de arte
Sweet Stephanie~ Happy 2016🎉😃 Always nice to kick back & watch your vids! U kno how much I luv ya. I think your just the best. Your warming personality is infectious. 😉
What a lovely ring. And all the different color choices! So pretty! Looking forward to the herringbone stitch that you mentioned at the end of the vid. I actually haven't done herringbone yet, but have been wanting to. So I'm excited for that!! 👍😃😍
Hope your having a wonderful night. Sending much 💜 your way ✨ 😘
+rebeccajns Hello rebecca! So nice to hear from you sweetie :) Glad you like the ring and the tubular Herringbone will be coming up! If you haven't done flat Herringbone, check out the Day to Night Bracelet on my UA-cam channel! It was at the end of this tutorial and is a good introduction to flat Herringbone (if you use big beads) I fell asleep early last night so I missed most comments until this morning! so nice to wake up to
I wasn't able to find a 6x9,,,only a 6x8...should I increase the number of seed beads used?
Hi Barb💖 You might have to adjust your seed seed beads as you go along. The size difference is small so see how your beads are fitting and add if you need to😄
I can Hardly wait to make one or two maybe more 😁
Very beautiful and seam to be do able.
Thank you 🙏
What is the best way to measure for a bangle bracelet I normally don't make them but I have seen a few of your videos where you just roll them on
Hi Bobbie - In a nutshell, the bangle should fit around the widest part of your hand with your thumb against your palm. I go into fit on each of the bangle videos :)

Yes!
Thank you I will see if I can get the crystal and ill check Michaels the next time I'm there
You're welcome Bobbie 😀
This ring is very pretty thank you for the tutorial. Can you tell me where I can find a faceted oval like that in any dark color or one similar?
Hi Anita and thank you for the nice comment😄 Swarovski mini oval beads will work great for this ring. The 10x8 oval will work fine. The bead I used seems to have disappeared from stores! It's from JoAnn Fabrics or Michael's but I haven't been able to find it recently. Here is a link for you. They are available on most online bead websites. www.artbeads.com/swarovski-5051-mini-oval.html
+Bronzepony Beaded Jewelry Thank you very much. I cannot wait to make this ring and wear it!
