Welcome!

Hey beautiful! In today’s intermediate beading tutorial I will show you how to make these horse eye-shaped agate cabochon pendants, with metal frame and seed bead bezel. Even if you don’t have all of the materials to make this exact pendant necklace, it may still be helpful to see how I add a seed bead bezel to a unique shape like the horse eye.

Horses Eye Agate Bezeled Pendant-1

Pendant Inspiration:

horse eye agate cabochon

I was inspired to create these bezeled pendant necklaces when I noticed how well the shape of the colorful agate cabochons are framed by the larger horse eye metallic pendant findings. The design comes together with coordinating hex-cut seed beads, colorful organza necklaces, and small agate rounds. The addition of oval connectors sewn onto the backs of the pendants adds another level of stability and a professional-looking finish.
