Jewels from the Thetis’s Treasure Box
Every two month, we work with a different source of inspiration and a new, carefully selected assortment of beads at the Beadingschool Academy. This time, we are getting inspired by Greek mythology, working with turquoise, blue, green, silver, and white to match the colours of the Aegean Sea. We will publish the tutorials gradually over July and August ’22, while we are working with the Thetis’s Treasure Theme Box.
Let’s see the jewels that we created so far! Most of them are named after ‘nereids’ – sea nymphs. There are 50 nereids, daughters of the ancient sea god, Nereus. They are protectors of sailors and fisherman.
If you are a Beadingschool Academy Student, I highly recommend starting to put together ‘mini kits’ for the jewels that you’d like to make, to make sure that you can finish everything that you’d like to. There are many possibilities to use the precious content of the Box, as not only the Beadingschool Creative Team, but fellow designers are also designing jewels for you.
Thank you for being respectful towards Beadingschool and our fellow designers by waiting for the tutorials to be published.
ITHAKA BRACELET
This slim bracelet combines elements with a 6 mm Preciosa sew-on rhinestone in the middle and square stitch bezeled Nacre pearl cabochons.

ITHAKA EARRINGS
Matching the bracelet of the same name, the Ithaka earring tutorial is the second signature jewel from the Thetis’s Treasure collection.
MATERIAL LIST
AMATHEIA EARRINGS
Amatheia is one of the coolest nereids or ‘sea nymphs’ in Greek mythology. She takes care of fishes and other creatures!
The tutorial for the motif will be my gift to all our current Beadingschool Academy Students 🙂
MATERIAL LIST
DORIS BRACELET
The Doris motif was the first jewel that we beaded during a #NoOneHasToBeadAlone session from the Thetis’s Treasure Theme Box.
It’s elongated shape makes it perfect for a bracelet – it’s easy to join several motifs to each other through the Miyuki Delica, or even by adding something else in between, if you need to lengthen the bracelet or just want to make it more interesting. The 6 mm pressed glass bicone beads or any of the crystal connectors are perfect for it.
You can also make it into a pair of earrings, or even a pendant – personalise it for a 100%!

A wonderful Academy Box with another outstanding collection of jewels to create. Congratulations on putting together an interesting theme for us once again. 🥰
I am enjoying Thetis’s Treasure very much! 😊
I love the box and all the Designs.
Omg the pendant from Ruxi is amazing!
I love them all but I think Thetis and Amatheia will be my favorites.
I am so looking forward to creating all these lovely designs. I love the colorway so it is going to be hard to decide which pieces to dedicate to the box and which to search through my stash to make!
Just opened my box and I’m in love with all the beautiful colours in this one 😍 Now I have to decide which piece to make first 😃
Oh Sandra, I’m so happy to share with you the love for turquoise and all it’s sister-colours 😀 I’m going to add now the list for Ruxi’s jewel, too, so you can make your choices wisely 🙂
I have loved all themes, but this one has a special spot in my heart.
I knew, Kicki 😀 Wishing you lots of fun with it, can’t wait to see your pieces!
I love them all but I think Thetis is my favorite! I am so appreciative of the talents of the amazing design team at beading school. Congratulations to all of you for creating another wonderful theme and such beautiful designs!
Dearest Terry, I’m so happy that you like them! Can’t wait to see your versions, your pieces are always beautiful and inspiring!
