Princess Beaded Ring Tutorial

This beaded princess ring, Using crystals and Seed beads is designed to lift the crystals front and center. The detail under the crystals is not only pretty but also add strength. I designed this ring in such a way to minimize visible thread and the amount of thread passes thru a single size 15 seed bead. If you are advanced in RAW techniques you can absolutely make the cage around the crystals with raw, but I feel that it adds thread bulk…
I hope you and your friends enjoy making and wearing these Princess band rings!
As always I hope you have a beautiful day.

Supplies:
BEADS
Size 15 # 961 Miyuki (bright sterling silver)
Size 11 # 961 Miyuki (bright sterling silver)
4mm cube crystals
… if interested I used
Swarovski 4mm cube crystals - Emerald
Swarovski 4mm cube crystals - Violet Opal
NEEDLES
Beadsmith beading needle …..size 13 in video
I made the emerald ring with a size 12 (the 13 was easier to work with but the 12 was ok too)
STRING
fireline.006 crystal- I highly recommend this choice, it’s strong enough but also thin enough. I don’t think Wildfire would work.
