Peyote components
These components are made
using a slight modification
of peyote stitch. For each
new round, youll sew
through the same 110s in the
initial ring instead of sewing
through the beads added in
the previous round.
[1] On 2 ft. (61 cm) of
Fireline, pick up 24 110
seed beads, and tie them
into a ring with a square
knot (Online Basics). Sew
through the first bead again
(figure 1, ab).
[2] Pick up a 2 mm gold
bead, skip an 110 in the ring,
and, working in circular
peyote stitch (Online Basics),
sew through the next 110
(bc). Repeat around the ring

150 in the first stitch (bc).
End the working thread and
tail (Online Basics).
[5] Repeat steps 14 11
times to make a total of 12
small rings.
[6] To begin a large ring,
repeat steps 13, but start
with 32 110s instead of 24.
Repeat five times to make a
total of six large rings.
[7] To connect the large
ring to two small ones, work
as in step 4 for one stitch
(figure 3, ab). For the next
b
stitch, pick up two 150s, sew
through a rondelle in a small
ring, pick up two 150s, and
complete the stitch (bc).
Work four stitches (cd). Pick
up two 150s, sew through a
rondelle in another small
ring, pick up two 150s, and
complete the stitch (de).
Work one more stitch, sew
through the first 150 in the
first stitch (ef), and end the
working thread and tail.
Repeat to connect two small
rings to each large ring.

Assembly
[1] Cut a 2-in. (5 cm) piece
of 24-gauge wire, and make
a wrapped loop (Online
Basics). String a 10 mm
mother-of-pearl coin, and
make a wrapped loop
(photo c). Repeat to make
a total of eight mother-ofpearl (MOP) units. Make
sure one loop of two of the
units is large enough to
accommodate the S-hook
clasp. Reserve these units for
the ends of the necklace.
[2] Cut a 3-in. (7.6 cm) piece
of 20-gauge wire, and make
a plain loop (Online Basics).
String the focal bead, and
make another plain loop
(photo d).
[3] Open the top loop
(Online Basics), and attach
one loop of two MOP units.
Close the loop (photo e).
[4] Open a jump ring
(Online Basics), attach the
loop of one MOP unit and
one small ring of a peyote
component, and close the
jump ring (photo f).
[5] Use a jump ring to attach
the other end ring of the
peyote component and a
MOP unit (photo g).
