(or Pin)
Level: Very advanced
Recommended pre-requisite: Herringbone weave
Size: 1521 kb, 24 pages, 53 steps
This is a pendant you just want to hold in your hand and never let go. It's a solid piece of
jewelry, and has this byzantine/medieval feeling to it. Make sure to use purple and burgundy combined with gold at least once when making this pattern, you won't regret it. If you eliminate the bail, then it can be
converted into a brooch.
This project requires solid knowledge of the Herrinbone Weave, which can be found free here.
