Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 36-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional quality beading wire.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
String onto the beading wire:
- One emerald bicone
- Three twisted tubes
- Three emerald bicones
- Five twisted tubes
- Five emerald bicones
- Seven twisted tubes
- Seven emerald bicones
- Nine twisted tubes
- Nine emerald bicones
- 11 twisted tubes
- 11 emerald bicones
Step 4
Continue to string 13 twisted tubes onto the beading wire then repeat Step 3 in reverse.
Repeat Step 2 to secure the beading wire.
Step 5
Mix Devcon® 5-Minute epoxy according to manufacturer's instructions. Apply a small amount of epoxy to the pear setting of one 28x12mm teardrop pendant.
Press one emerald 14x10mm pear fancy stone into the setting then set aside to cure.
Step 6
Pass one 8x6mm jump ring through the teardrop pendant then close. Use a 6x4mm jump ring to connect the 8x4mm jump ring to the inner loop of an open leaf focal.
Connect the outer loop of the leaf focal to one Accu-Guard using a 6x4mm jump ring.
Step 7
Using a second open leaf focal, attach one 8x5mm leaf charm to the inner loop of the focal using a 6x4mm jump ring.
Connect the outer loop of the focal to the other Accu-Guard using a 6x4mm jump ring.
Slide the open leaf focal with the teardrop pendant through the other open leaf focal to form a lariat.
