Bubble Box Beaded Bead

The Bubble Box beaded bead resembles a neatly organized box of bubbles, and it makes a lovely solo pendant, an accompanying beaded bead for a larger focal, or a beautiful focal bead by itself. This design uses a twist on the right angle weave technique to form a cube-shaped structure with drop beads at each corner. Since it is not dependent on the drop beads for its stability, this beaded bead is an excellent choice for featuring irregularly-shaped freshwater pearls.
