GILDED CAGE: Stare into the hidden depths of a mesmerizing crystal through its gilded cage! Bead a network of two-hole beads over a glittering crystal canvas. This unique way of capturing a 27mm chaton enables the crystal to become the backdrop of the beadwork, while careful consideration of colours draws the eye past the centre gem duos and deep into the depths of the chaton.

SKILL LEVEL: Novice to advanced – Basic beading knowledge (eg., how to thread a needle, adding and ending threads)
COST: $45
KIT: Optional Kit -$25 per kit (note: does not include cord/chain). Colourways available: Blue/gold, black/crystal, peridot/copper, light or dark rose/silver.
Cut-off date for ordering kits 27th June
