Pair

The bead on the left is made using rivoli beads, which look something like two very wide, shallow cones joined at the equator.

I really like them, but they don't always seem to be available [from the bead store at which I teach], so if I want to teach this beaded bead as a class, I need to make sure that the design will also work with large rondelles.

While I do prefer the look with the rivoli beads, it does work with the rondelles too.
