Convertible Triple-Strand Necklace and Earring Set with Czech Glass Druk Beads, Acrylic Beads and Components and Gold-Finished Brass Chain

Cut one 3-foot length of Accu-Flex® professional quality beading wire and one 1-3/4 inch length of 6mm curb chain.

Creating the Focal

String one gold-plated brass 3mm round and one acrylic 21x8mm flower onto a head pin then form a simple loop. Create two more drops.

String one gold-plated brass 3mm round, one acrylic 6mm round and one 11x7mm flower onto a head pin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of eight 11x7mm flower drops using a variety of acrylic 6mm rounds and/or gold-plated brass 3mm rounds.

Pass one 4x3mm oval jump ring through the last link of the length of chain and the loop of one fancy flower toggle clasp then close.

Using 4x3mm oval jump rings, attach each acrylic flower drop to the length of chain as desired.

Creating the Bead Strand

String onto the length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.

Continue to string onto the beading wire:

• 17 sets of:
• One 6mm glass druk
• One gold-plated brass 4x2mm heishi
• Five sets of:
• One acrylic 6mm round
• One gold-plated brass 4x2mm heishi
• One 6mm glass druk

Repeat Step 4 to secure the strand.

Attach one lobster claw clasp to one end of the strand using a 5.5mm round jump ring.

Attach a 5.5mm round jump ring to the opposite Accu-Guard.

Use a 5.5mm round jump ring to attach a lobster claw clasp to the open round part of the toggle clasp.

Connect the lobster claw clasps to finish the necklace.

Note: This necklace can be worn with or without the flower focal. To remove the flower focal, simply disconnect both lobster claw clasps and connect the lobster claw clasp at one end of the necklace to the jump ring at the opposite end.

Chain Necklace

Cut the following lengths of 6mm long and short chain: one 6-1/2 inch, one 7-1/4 inch and one 8-1/4 inch.

String one 4x2mm heishi, one acrylic 6mm round and one 4x2mm heishi onto an eye pin then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a total of eight beaded links.

Connect five beaded links together using one 5.5mm round jump ring between each link then repeat with the other three beaded links to form a separate length.

Connect the following, in order, using 5.5mm round jump rings:

• One 8-1/4 inch length of chain
• One 3-link length of beaded links
• One 6-1/2 inch length of chain
• One 5-link length of beaded links
• One 7-/4 inch length of chain

To complete the necklace, use a 5.5mm round jump ring to connect each portion of a fancy flower toggle clasp to each end of the strand.

Cut one 1-1/2 foot length of Accu-Flex professional quality beading wire and one 1-1/2 inch length of 6mm long and short chain.

String onto the length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.

String onto the beading wire:

• 36 sets of:
• One 6mm glass druk

Repeat Step 2 to secure the strand.

Use a 5.5mm round jump ring to connect one end of the length of chain to the Accu-Guard on one end of the strand then use another 5.5mm round jump ring to connect the open round portion of a leaf toggle clasp to the opposite end of the chain.

Use a 5.5mm round jump ring to connect a lobster claw clasp to the opposite Accu-Guard to complete the necklace.

Note: This necklace can also be worn as a bracelet.
