Begin with disposition of main elements. To make it symmetrical and flat we should prepare a pattern and draw a basis.
Paste a stone, pastes and accessories as it's shown at the pattern.
Bind and enlace a stone.
Sew pastes and bind them (large with large beads (#513)narrow -with small ones (#459).
Every element we should sew at the center, using Czech beads.
Fix with glue triangular beads around every large accessory ,sew it after that , joining at the corner with large beads (#201).
Fill the accessories with beads (#459), sew drops Miyuki of two colours at the edges. Put two metal bricks around the upper element of accessories. Sew bricks, bugles (#221) and triangular beads near the central element ,following from a large paste. I recommend you to paste these elements previously to make it flat and symmetrical.
Bind the paste with one more row of tiny beads (#459). Sew long beads after that.
The distance between bricks around the upper element fill with bugles (#Y302)and tiny beads (#PF557). Space between bricks and accessories fill with tiny beads (#459).
Make tracery around the central element from long and short bugles (#221), fix wigh glue before it, and pay attention to symmetry.
Fill the distance between them with beads. Make tracery from bugles (#Y302) along the central stone,pay attention to symmetry. Join the tracery along the narrow pastes with bugles near the central element, move from cabochon,using tiny bronze beads (#221), triangular gold beads (PF557) and short bugles #221 and #Y302 for it.
Sew one more row of beads around the stone.(#513 and cube #457). Gather upper element of accessory with the stone, adding drops Miyuki and 2 layers of beads (#513) (at the second layer you can add some cube beads to join visually the tracery with a row around the central cabochon).
Cut the accessory at contour.
Paste bonded area paper at the reverse to make it rough, paste leather
and bind the edge flatwise.
Make a loop at the top from tiny beads (#PF557 ).
Fix findings. Earrings are ready!
