Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Lay out necklace design as desired, positioning the largest briolette in the center.
Step 2
Cut a 2" length of silver wire and make a wrapped loop, connecting it to a 4mm closed jump ring. String the first bead in the design and make another wrapped loop, connecting it to a second 4mm closed jump ring.
Step 3
Repeat Step 2, connecting to the last jump ring and stringing the next bead in the design. Continue in this manner until the design reaches the desired length.
Step 4
Connect the trigger clasp to one end of the design with a 5mm open jump ring and connect a second 5mm open jump ring to the other end for the clasp.
Earring Instructions
Cut a 3" length of silver wire and string a sapphire briolette. Cross the wires above the bead. Bend one wire to a 90-degree angle and wrap it twice around the straight wire. Trim excess wire. Create a wrapped loop with the remaining wire and connect it to the loop on an earwire.
