This is not a kit. No materials are included.
Captured Crystals stands apart from a basic captured bead design by utilizing the unique geometry of crystal bicones paired with the perfect size of jump rings. The beads are locked in place with all the holes facing the same direction creating the illusion of being strung on an invisible wire.
In terms of difficulty, Captured Crystals is a bit more challenging than a standard captured round bead design because the orientation of the crystal within the jump ring cage is critical to successful assembly and that's why this PDF includes extremely detailed written instructions with 33 close-up step-by-step photos and troubleshooting tips.
To be successful assembling your Captured Crystals kit, you should be able to:
- open & close jump rings
- pinch & hold the interlocked jump rings in a specified orientation
The "Pattern Only" option is best for independent beaders either working from their own stash or willing/able to search for their own materials because we do not provide vendor recommendations nor color names/numbers. The supply list is on the first page of each project PDF and includes the type/size of each required component as well as the required quantity. The quantity may be listed as a range if the instructions include stringing charts for multiple sizes.
