Here is a variation of the classic Brick Stitch weaving which should please you. Brick stitch is a technique of weaving beads with a needle. The principle is to first create a base of beads on which you will again attach other beads in the same way as a brick wall. In this case, in this tutorial we will only fix the bead base by hanging them on the ring of the ear stud. We will then use the attached beads as a support to attach other beads of different sizes to create the sun rays.
The beads used here are all from the Miyuki brand. They are delicas 11/0, rocailles 15/0 and bugles 3 mm. 11/0 and 15/0 are the size of the beads. The larger the number, the smaller the pearls. The center stone is a semi-perforated gemstone pearl. A semi-perforated pearl is a pearl with a hole that does not go all the way through the pearl. These are usually pearls that are glued to a support made for. So you won't see a hole once the bead is glued, unlike a normal bead.

Cut 1 m of weaving thread and tie it with a double knot on the ring. Leave 10 cm of the thread end to be inserted into the weaving later. On the long part of the thread, thread 2 golden 11/0 delicas beads. Place them side by side against the ring. Pass the thread under the ring and then back into the second bead and tighten.
Return to the first and then again to the second and tighten.
Thread a third bead and place it against the second. Pass the thread under the ring and back into the third bead and tighten. Repeat this step 25 more times
Attach a total of 28 beads to the ring. Connect the first and last beads and then go back to the last bead.
Thread 1 rocaille 15/0 and return to the delicas.
Go to the next delicas and thread 1 bugle and 1 rocaille 15/0. Go through the bugle again and return to the delicas below. Continue to tie alternately 1 rocket and then 1 bugle + 1 rocket until you have gone all the way around the ring. Then make a knot using the thread already fixed on the loop and pass several times in beads to hide the thread then cut the excess. Do the same with the end of the thread. Then glue the semi-drilled bead.
