New Zealand flower jade
Last year My husband and I spent 3 weeks in New Zealand. I found this lovely New Zealand flower jade cabochon and a string of round jade beads.
I have encased the cabochon with size15/0 miyukis ans a gold delica. I put 4mm gold filled beads between each jade bead.

This is one of Jean Power geometric patterns.The pendant is double sided. This side shows the swarovski golden shadow crytal cabochon. The other side would show the eldorado crystal. I have varied mine from the original pattern. Jean had a round encasement on the back side. I have made mine a star shape on both sides.
Victoriana
I found this pattern in an old stichery book I bought at a market. It is typically victorian with the insects and flora
