Amelia pendant by Puca with pastel cabochon and Arcos and Piros beads

How to make a pendant with a cabochon and glass beads?

New cabochon colors from Puca are now available in all sizes: 8mm, 18mm, and 24mm. You’ll find pastel shades that are perfect for welcoming the warmer days: green, blue, purple, and a whole range of fresh, spring-like colors.

In this tutorial, Puca shows you how to place a cabochon at the center of a design by pairing it with other types of beads (Miyuki seed beads, PureCrystal bicones... all jewelry-making staples you’re surely familiar with!) in the Amélia pendant. Amélia is a pendant that looks just like a pretty flower: a center (pistil) bordered by Arcos and Piros beads by Puca, which create the illusion of petals. Finally, seed beads and bicones are interspersed throughout this collection of beads by Puca to showcase them as they deserve!

If you like this pendant and want to try making it yourself, we invite you to first explore all the colors of Puca cabochons available on our website.
