Instructions
Open a 3mm crimp cover. Place it over the head on a 2-inch gold-plated headpin. Using chain-nose pliers, gently close the crimp cover.
String one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap, one jet 18x12mm rondelle, one 15x10mm gold-plated leaf bead cap, one and gold-plated crystal AB 6mm rondelle, one 8mm round black onyx bead, one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap and one jet AB 3mm bicone onto the headpin. Using a pair of chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and flush-cutters, form a wrapped loop on the straight end of the headpin.
Repeat to create a second jet 18mm rondelle wrapped bead drop.
Using flush-cutters, cut an 18-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire. String onto the wire one crimp tube. Pass the wire through the loop on the ring portion of the toggle clasp and back through the crimp tube leaving one end of the wire approximately one inch long. Pull the crimp tight against the loop on the clasp. Place a small amount of adhesive inside the crimp (optional).
Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using flush-cutters, trim the excess wire from the short end.
Place a crimp cover over the crimp tube then gently close it.
String onto the beading wire the following:
Place one crimp tube onto the beading wire after the bead cap. Pass the beading wire through the loop on a jet 18x12mm rondelle wrapped bead drop and back through the crimp, then pull the wire snuggly so the crimp is closer to the headpin. Make sure there is no slack along the length of the first part of the necklace. Place a small amount of gel adhesive inside the crimp (optional).
Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp tube. Using flush-cutters, trim excess wire from the end.
Place a crimp cover over the crimp tube then gently close it.
Repeat Step 2 to attach an 18-inch length of beading wire to the loop on a lobster claw clasp.
String onto the beading wire the following:
Pass the wire through the gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap, the 8mm round black onyx bead, the and gold-plated crystal AB 6mm rondelle, the gold-plated leaf bead cap, the jet 18x12mm rondelle and the two gold-plated 6mm flower bead caps (back to back to create an oval) under the second set of heart beads from the first strand created in Step 4.
Separate the strand back out and continue to string on the following:
Repeat Step 4 to attach the end of the beading wire to the second jet 18x12mm rondelle wrapped bead drop.
String one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap, one jet 18x12mm rondelle, one gold-plated 15x10mm leaf bead cap, one and gold-plated crystal AB 6mm rondelle, one 8mm round black onyx bead and one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap onto a 2-inch gold-plated headpin. Using a pair of chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and flush-cutters, form a wrapped loop on the straight end of the headpin.
Using flush-cutters, cut a 12-inch length of Accu-Flex beading wire. String onto the wire one crimp tube. Pass the wire through the first loop on the tab portion of the box clasp and back through the crimp tube leaving one end of the wire approximately one inch long. Pull the crimp tight against the loop on the clasp. Place a small amount of gel adhesive inside the crimp (optional).
String onto the beading wire the following:
Place one crimp tube onto the beading wire after the bead. Pass the beading wire through the first loop on the filigree round portion of the box clasp and back through crimp then pull the wire snuggly so the crimp is closer to the clasp. Make sure there is no slack along the length of the first part of the bracelet. Place a small amount of gel adhesive inside the crimp (optional).
Repeat Step 2 to attach a 12-inch length of beading wire to the second loop on the tab portion of the box clasp.
String onto the beading wire the following:
Repeat Step 4 to attach the end of the beading wire to the second loop on the filigree round portion of the box clasp.
Using a pair of chain-nose pliers and flat-nose pliers, open an 8mm twisted round jumpring. Pass it over the last two jet AB 3mm bicones on the second strand and through the loop on the jet 18x12mm rondelle wrapped bead drop. Close the jumpring.
Open a gold-plated 3mm crimp cover. Place it over the head on a gold-plated 2-inch headpin. Using chain-nose pliers, gently close the crimp cover.
String one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap, one jet 18x12mm rondelle, one gold-plated 15x10mm leaf bead cap, one gold-plated and crystal AB 6mm rondelle, one 8mm round black onyx bead, one gold-plated 6mm flower bead cap and one jet AB 3mm bicone onto the headpin. Using a pair of chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and flush-cutters, form a wrapped loop on the straight end of the headpin to create a bead drop. Repeat to create a total of two bead drops.
Using a pair of chain-nose pliers and flat-nose pliers, open the loop on an earwire. Pass it through the loop on the jet 18x12mm rondelle wrapped bead drop. Close the jumpring.
Repeat to create the second earring.
