 Go for Baroque © 2010 by Melanie Potter Go for Baroque is a modern rendition of a pendant necklace mimicking the extravagantly ornamental Baroque period in Italy in the 1700’s. The two bezels in this piece are Melanie’s innovative use of the classic chevron chain netting. Creating the two sizes of bezels is relatively quick because there is so much open work. It is a very sensible piece because it is enjoyable to bead and hangs comfortably, although ornately. There is bale on the backside of the pendant stitched in odd-count peyote stitch. This is a great piece to learn out to stitch two bezels that are quick and very forgiving in fitting in the stone. |
