Muted, copper Tila beads and antique copper spacer beads play off the sparkle of the midnight blue faceted, rondelle beads in this unusual necklace. The contrast between the shiny glass and the metallic beads gives this project an abundance of character.

This is as much a tutorial on flat herringbone as anything. It is one of my favorite stitches and I’m happy to share it with you to help you learn flat herringbone to be able to do the Tila Herringbone projects (or anything else in herringbone). This style with cubes & seed beads is one I call “Checkerboard” herringbone because of the way they fit together.

Use this stitch to create a beaded rope to make a necklace or bracelet. If you’re just starting out we recommend that you use Miyuki 8/0 seed beads as they are larger than 11/0 and therefore a little easier to work with.
