St. Petersburg Earrings Recipe

---

With inspiration from nature, Emily has pushed the boundaries of the St. Petersburg Chain technique into new directions and dimensions! St. Petersburg chain belongs to a group of stitches that originate in Russia, which has a rich bead weaving culture. It has a very unusual thread path…it leads to all kinds of options: single, double, and even into three dimensions for a full and textured design.
