I saw a wonderful example of a beautiful necklace an artist made with beads that were just lying around her crafting table.
This is why I love bead stringing so much.
It doesn’t require much specialized jewelry making knowledge, yet you can create very beautiful pieces by just being creative with what you already have on hand.
Take a look at this piece she created and you will see what I mean: Beaded Necklace at Painted Threads
She used some deep red colored beads in her work that are absolutely gorgeous!

One of the easiest bead stringing projects is to make a necklace with a beautiful cameo as the center piece.
The cameo by itself is very beautiful, but what if you could decorate it even more to create a truly unique look?
Take a look at this video clip where swarovski crystal beads are strung to the cameo frame to create an even more unique look.
You can use this technique to add extra decoration to anything that you want to put your own unique spin on.

I just found a fairly easy bead stringing earrings project over at about.com
The tutorial shows you how to make a pair of Fringe Earrings.
It’s a beginners level project, but I think the earrings look really nice and I can see that you can use your own creativity to make slight variations to the design.
The design uses a lot of seed beads and you will learns some very basic seed beading techniques like the ladder stitch, the brick stitch, and fringe. All combined in just one tutorial!

I just saw a new beading pattern over at jewelrymakingprofessor.com called Romanesque Earrings.
This is more of a bead weaving project than a bead stringing one, but I thought the earrings were so beautiful that I wanted to show you them.
Here is the link to the preview of the video: Beading Pattern Romanesque Earrings
The pattern looks fairly simple using just bicone beads and seed beads.
I really like the style of these earrings!
