This is no doubt the most expensive looking necklace I have ever seen. I am going to buy all beads needed and come back to make this necklace. Thank you so much.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Fabulous! Glad to hear it! Have fun with it!

[@updownstate]

41:00 This is complicated but not difficult if you go slowly and watch as Gina goes along. So far the instruction is clear. I'll finish watching this tomorrow, yay!.

[@StarkeyatRingo]

O Gina! Stop the presses!!! I am - and will get right on this! My jaw literally dropped - some pretty intense creating, my friend!

[@GinasGemCreations]

LarkaStark thank you! I was worried about this one, I toiled with it for many hours.💜

[@robertastarkey9273]

I am curious - google won't let me see or write comments anymore and won't let me into my account because of p/w issues - but it is me - is it Just me - or is No One able to write comments anymore? The only reason I can see/write this is because of a link due to you replying to it. Thank you in advance for clearing this up. I hate that I can't communicate with the creators anymore!

[@RaymondNok]

Another gorgeous design. It's 04:33 am here. Jumped off the sofa, into the beading room and selected the crystals. 💕🇧🇻

[@GinasGemCreations]

Johan Kristoffer Karlsen LOL, I am happy it inspired you so much. I am trying to design another belle for these. This one works, but I think I can make them prettier.😁

[@carolynholt2038]

What a uniquely different way to bezel a cushion cut stone! Thanks, Gina, for the tutorial. Lovely necklace!

[@GinasGemCreations]

Carolyn Holt you are welcome, I am glad you like it!

Girl, you are amazing! When you go out with your mom you gals are bringing it! So gorgeous.

Definitely, LOL. 🌹😁

[@sharonperry7085]

Thank you, Gina, for this absolutely stunning design! I am so so so glad you are back,and hope your recovery is going well.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Sharon Perry thank you, yes, I am doing well. My main issue is time. I have returned to work and the long hours are exhausting me. Beading has taken a back seat. But I am trying to get back into the swing of things.😁

[@nyperi13]

You are amazing! Thanks for another great tutorial of a beautiful jewelry piece! 💕

[@GinasGemCreations]

Awe, you are sweet and very welcome 💙❤️💜

[@clairebacchi360]

That necklace is stunning Gina. I really appreciate you taking all the time you needed to teach everything. I can only imagine all the work you have put into it. I love 💗 your designs and the designs of so many others. I have a question about designing and the way you accomplish that. Do you design from the seat of your pants, draw out the design or have clever software that you use? I’ve tried to design my own unique designs with no success. Also did you go to a master class? I’m impressed with the way you bead, and so I would imagine you have done a master class. I hope you answer my questions because I’d really like to know. Thanks Gina!

[@ninfadelarosa9338]

Beautiful creations. You have an eye for beauty and a hand that crafts so well.

this bezel around a cushion cut 12 mm fancy stone is very useful for earrings too not only for the gorgeous necklace of this tutorial i didn't comment in 2020 July 10th,dear Gina i love you as designer and tutor, happy 2021 hoping you read ❤️❤️❤️

[@charmain8227]

Nice necklace! One question tho... half the time you are saying 11/0 beads on top of the 8/0 herringbone stitches. The rest of the time you say 15/0 beads on top. Which is it? It LOOKS like 11/0s based on soze difference but it's hard to tell for sure on tv.

[@genafuscaldo6689]

I Miss My Gina Gems !! Could you make another 12mm Cushion Cut into a Ring ?

[@kellyfrost-cook4932]

Glad to see you. Missed you! ❤️

[@GinasGemCreations]

Kelly Frost-cook thank you, I missed beading💙

[@rojeaniafuscaldo3239]

Hey Gina, It's Gena Fuscaldo ~ Again... I want to say that I LOVE those Beautiful Blue Nails, I especially Love the way that they contrast against those beads, and it makes it easier to see where your at in the Circle ! It's pretty darn late right now, but I'm intrigued at this bezel, But here I have no day Job ~ I just don't know how you manage to do both... But You Manage to., andGod Bless & Get Rest ~ Not like me in Florida it's 3:15 AM watching this for the 2nd time Whoo Hoo ~ Do I know how to Party ! :)

[@GinasGemCreations]

LOL, I am not managing well lately, it’s so busy at work...so much more to do with the COVID stuff that I am too exhausted to bead much. Then edit and upload...ugh! But thanks for the encouragement. Try the bezel, it might work for your design.💜

[@rojeaniafuscaldo3239]

Hi Gina, Im sending good thoughts your way from sunny, hot Tucson Az. Usually I dont like blue nails but love the red, white and blue this post July 4th. Ths for sharing.

[@GinasGemCreations]

Sally Semrau thanks, I am not big on bold colors for nails either, but these were fun for a short while.💙

[@shirleylaflamme3661]

Hi Gina. Do you have any tutorials using 2X Brio Beads, 6mm. Or could you tell me where to find how to use them? I enjoy your tutorials! Thank you for them and any information you can provide regarding Brio beads.

[@GinasGemCreations]

I am sorry, I do not know about them, try asking on Potomac Beads channel.💜

[@ingridakerblom7577]

Hi! I just wan't to share a tip with seedbeads, to get the metallic coating on galvanized seedbeads to last longer (I have a hard time to find permanently galvanized/ duracoat SB) I thread them on a metal or hard plastic wire/string. The thickness of the line should cover most of the hole on the inside, to make a thight fit, so you can leave some space inbetween the beads. And then I dip the wire in Pledge clear floor vax-polish for stone/plastic floors.. I let it dry for a few hours & dip them again for a second layer & then let it dry overnight..I know some people use this to get a piece a little bit more sturdier if its soft & floppy.. The vax dosen't harm the coating, it covers well & the beads often look better than before! Haven't had too much time to compere exactly how much longer it makes the beads last before any tarnish is visible, but it will make them last longer for sure! It has saved me alot of effort to find permanently galvanized/duracoat seedbeads & has saved me some money on materials.. 😊 greetings from finland 🙋🏼‍♀️🇫🇮

[@GinasGemCreations]

Nice tip, thank you, but does it stick the beads together?

[@ingridakerblom7577]

@@GinasGemCreations it depends on how thick the string I use is. You can use a soft string that's thicker than the hole (like yarn/thread you use to knit or crotchet) then you can thread them on with a little bit of space in between them. If you use yarn, a cotton or nylon yarn is better so you don't gett "fluff" stuck on the bead. I have used waxed cotton string. But you need to harden the tips with a little bit of nailpolish so it's easier to string the beads on (the hardened nailpolish will act as a kind of needle) Otherwise, they are really easy to separate again! I just use my fingernail (or something else flat & thin like a unsharp blade) carefully pressing the tip down in between the beads, when it's all dry. And they'll separate from eachother immediately with minimal effort.. just be sure that it is all dry before trying to separate them. I like to use a thread that's just a little bit thinner than the hole size, so the vax is able to reach into the hole and you get a layer of coating inside of the hole aswell, giving it better protection.. 😊

[@nancyclegg3554]

so beautiful hope you will continue to share your creations this video 3 months ago, so hoping you are going to post soon thank you

[@GinasGemCreations]

I know, sorry, I have been posting on my GGC’s Beginning Beaders channel. I was a little tight on designing time, so, I was posting simpler projects on the other channel. But I will try to get more on this channel too.💕
