Brilliant Crystal Jewelry 2: Use an 8 mm crystal for the Princess ring

In the April 2009 special issue Brilliant Crystal Jewelry 2, the materials list for "Princess ring," p. 64, mistakenly includes a 10 mm cube crystal instead of the 8 mm cube crystal shown and used for the instructions. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

To explain, I also made rings using a 10 mm bicone crystal and a round crystal. Both rings came together according to the instructions, without my having to change any other materials. If you use a 10 mm cube, you will need to adjust the size of the bicone crystals on the sides of the ring to 5 mm. Or, you can adjust the number of size 11 seed beads to fit the beadwork along the sides of the cube.

As another alternative, I used a 6 mm cube to make "Princess ring" and substituted 3 mm bicones in place of the 4 mm bicones, which resulted in a smaller ring top.

Bead on!

Anna
