Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 20-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 86 twisted tubes onto the beading wire then repeat Step 2 to secure the wire.
Pass one jump ring through one Accu-Guard and one lobster claw clasp then close. Attach a jump ring to the Accu-Guard on the opposite end of the strand.
Step 4
Line up the picks of the bail with the hole of the Bermuda blue P emerald cut pendant then pinch closed.
Use a jump ring to attach the bail to the strand.
Earring Instructions
Step 1

Step 2
String three liquid tubes onto an eye pin then form a wrapped loop. Repeat to create a second link.
Step 3
Connect one drop to the simple loop end and one ear wire to the wrapped loop end of the link.
Repeat to create a second earring.
