Does anyone know where I can find good free seed bead patterns websites to make jewelry?

I am looking for free seed bead pattern websites. I need as many as you can think of or find.

I am looking for free necklaces and bracelets using seed beads. for example i want something similar to the pattern #9143 on bead-patterns.com (in the free patterns section) something simple but very pretty. I’m also looking for choker like bead patterns also free.

Where can I find patterns for wire crochet jewelry?

I heard recently about crochet jewelry done with wire and beads. I want to try it, but don’t want to invest a lot of money into buying a book on it before trying it in case I either don’t like it or am not good at it. I’ve tried googling for patterns, but most of what I find is using yarn. Does anyone have a good resource for patterns that would use wire and beads?

Where can I find a website with friendship bracelet patterns?

I have a jewelry company, and it consists of mostly bead jewelry, but I think adding some friendship bracelets made out of embroidery thread might be nice. Can someone help me with looking for a website that has patterns of different types of friendship bracelets?

Thanks!
