This feminine pendant has a geometric design that shows off the depth of the LunaSoft cabochon in the center. It hangs on an adjustable length chain that takes the necklace from just over 20" all the way up to 24", making it versatile enough for summer or winter wear. So if pink is one of your favorite colors, you can wear this all year long!

To make this pendant, I followed a pattern from Michelle Snyder's Poetryinbeads shop on Etsy. It starts with the Delica beads to make the bezel, and then the Rocailles to pull in the edges to hold the cabochon. Once the cab is placed in the middle, you stitch the decorative geometric design using contrasting color Rocailles, and finish off the inner edge with crystals and seed beads. Then you work your way to the outer edge to add the SuperDuo and crystal accents, and finish with a row of seed bead embellishments to cap off each set of accent beads. Then I added the bail. To make the necklace, I added an extension chain to one end of a length of narrower chain, and a lobster claw clasp to the other end.
This is a lovely pendant, feminine, but not dainty, with a luscious pink and orange color scheme that makes me think of the order fruit the cabochon is named after! It's versatile in length, and can be worn over summer's tees as easily as winter's turtlenecks! I think you'll get a lot of wear out of this one!
