Crystal Mandala Rings

Following on the theme of the crystal mandalas, suddenly had an idea to use the middle part of my crystal mandala pendants.
It was quick and more fun making these - once I got the ring bases from the supplier, all I had to do is to attach the mandalas with the strong adhesive - what do you think?

Crystal Mandalas

These have been my favorites to make for the last year.

In the middle is 14mm Swarovsky "rivoli" crystal, which is then is worked around with Japanese delica seed beads (the tiny ones), 4mm Swarovsky bicones and glass pearls.

All is held together by a ... length of fishing line! (Thanks to my brother-in-low - the fisherman, who presented me with a huge roll)

Then the  bail is made and the whole piece is strung on a matching cord'n'ribbon neclace.   VoilĂ !
