This makes me want to buy nib-bit beads. I usually try to stay away from all the differently shaped beads because I have a hard time picking just a few colors and I don't have the budget to get all the colors. But I'd love to give this a try.

[@patsmith9400]

I have tons of Nib Bit beads…I’ve made this design which I used as an earring, and it turned out beautifully….I love this bead shape…it lends itself to many ingenious designs…

[@lesley10ful]

wow! gorgeous!!!

[@nandabhudia4972]

When will you show how to make the 12mm cushion stone earrings? I did try making it the way you did with the 16mm but didn’t work out probably not using the correct count of seed beads. Look forward to seeing the earring tutorial.

[@kathyv01]

The pendant came out beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial Gina. I tried to reverse engineer to make the earrings to gift a set but I couldn’t get them right. I hope you follow through with the earring tutorial. I’ll be watching for it. Thanks again for all your wonderful tutorials.

[@tessbugeja8008]

I’ll be making this pendant tomorrow, thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. Following from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@maliashoults3815]

Yay, I was waiting for this tutorial to break out the purple stones. Thank you!

[@Maria.D.Velazquez]

Beautiful! I really want nib-bit beads. Haversian a great day!

[@RMCToo]

This is STUNNING! I loved how you put those pearls on the sides to cover up the view of the side of the 16mm stone. Richard

[@scheherazadewjackson8131]

Your work is absolutely beautiful and very detailed.

[@shereneliscom6736]

Hello gina, im glad i got to be one of the first to see your wonderful tutorial. What a beautiful necklace !!!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you so much, Sherene!! I'm thrilled to have you!! :)

[@sharonhollis9684]

Very Beautiful Pendant Gina; Love it; I love that 16mm cushion cut, such a beautiful stone, and your bezel is absolutely stunning, I just love how you put the 3mm pearls along the side channels of the bezel; I look forward to seeing how you make the earrings using 12mm cushion cut

[@MyTreasureHunt]

Hello Gina! This pendant turned out beautifully. Thank you.

[@cindyevans219]

Love the bezel you created, Gina. It’s so very pretty with the pearls on the side. Thank you for sharing with us 😊

[@sandramacarthur590]

Very pretty. I'm ready for the earring tutorial tho. I wear earrings more than anything. ☺️

[@kathyv01]

I made this and it came out beautiful. Thank you for the lovely tutorial for this collection. I liked that it was a bit less ornate than others. Saving the 12mm for the earrings. Can’t wait!

[@joannasearle7052]

Such a stunning elegant pendant, thank you for sharing

[@lightbulbnirvana]

This was great Gina! I have wanted to learn how to set large crystals like you have done here. Thanks for sharing! ☀☀☀

[@BabySquirrelBeading]

So beautiful Gina 🤓 I was just bezeling some 8mm cushion cut crystals with nib-bits to design a bracelet. This will be stunning with it 🐿️ Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. Big hugs from Nova Scotia

[@VanessaH58]

Very pretty pendant. I would love to make it but there don't seem to be a good source for the 16mm cushion cut stones. Can you recommend a source.

[@Pitarolle1]

I live in the UK and 16mm doesn't seem to be available here at all. The sizes jump from 12mm to 18mm

[@marybethg4861]

I love this design. Thank you!

@@ORCHIDandOPAL welcome. I’m sure I’ve said it before that you do beautiful work.

[@GloriaFlemings]

Thank you for the tutorial is it ok to use a round crystal?

[@mawe.o6486]

Wunderschön🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@vavavavroom]

I like the look a lot but i just couldn't get it to fit snuggly. I used the exact same marerials and still it's too loose. The stone won't fall out technically but you can squish it all around, the stone rotates within the setting. I reinforced the hell out of each step and still much too big for the 16mm stone. Disappointed that ill have to rip it out and try to modify the seed counts to get it fit properly.

[@nancysampson3609]

What size pearls did you use for necklace part

[@hollomfahmy]

That’s too much work to remember.
