Single-Strand Necklace and Earring Set with Green Aventurine Gemstone Beads and Focal, Copper Sheet and Wire Wrap

Use a disc cutter to cut three 15mm circles from 25-gauge copper sheet.

Position one of the copper circles off center of the 15mm slot of the disc cutter, then cut to create a crescent. Repeat with a second copper circle to create a second crescent.

Gently hammer the remaining copper circle and the two crescents with a ball peen hammer to add texture. Be sure to hammer opposite sides of the crescents.

Use a hole punch tool to add a hole to the top of each crescent and the circle.

Mix a small amount of Devcon 2-part Epoxy according to the manufacturer directions.

Position one crescent, the circle and the second crescent snug against each other, texture down, and horizontal on your work surface. The holes of the crescents should be opposite the hole of the circle.

Apply a small amount of adhesive across the center of all three copper shapes then gently press a 4-strand spacer bar onto the adhesive. Allow the epoxy to cure.

Wire-Wrapped Components

Cut three 8-inch lengths of 22-gauge copper wire.

Create a loop approximately two inches from the end of a length of copper wire. String the hole of a crescent onto the loop. Continue by completing a wrapped loop with two wraps.

String an 8mm aventurine round onto the wire. Create a large wrapped loop with three wraps, leaving the space of approximately three wraps until the 8mm round.

Bring the wire around the bead in a slight curve then wrap around the stem of the first wrapped loop. Trim any excess wire.

Repeat to add a second wrapped link to the hole of the second crescent.

Pass the end of the third length of wire back between the arm and the head of an aventurine goddess focal.

Holding the end of the wire securely against the focal, wrap tightly up and around the arm four times. Bring the wire up the front of the arms, wrap halfway around the jaw of round-nose pliers then down the back of the arms.

Wrap tightly around the opposite arm in the opposite direction four times then trim any excess wire.

Gently move the coiled bail as needed to center the focal.

Wrapped Leather Cord

Cut an 18-inch length of leather cord.

Insert one end of the leather cord and the end of 30-gauge copper wire (working off the spool) into a crimp end then flatten with chain-nose pliers.

Tightly wrap the wire along the length of the cord. Trim the wire to match the length of the cord, then repeat Step 10 to secure the ends.

Assembly

String the two large loops of the wrapped beaded links onto the wrapped cord.

Use a 6mm jump ring to attach the bail of the goddess pendant to the hole of copper circle.

Use jump rings to attach each half of the clasp to the loops of the crimp ends.

Use a disc cutter to cut two 15mm circles from 25-gauge copper sheet.

Position one of the copper circles off center of the 15mm slot of the disc cutter then cut to create a crescent. Repeat with a second copper circle to create a second crescent.

Gently hammer crescents with a ball peen hammer to add texture. Be sure to hammer opposite sides of the crescents.

Use a hole punch tool to add a hole to the top of each crescent.

String an 8mm aventurine round onto the wire. Create a large wrapped loop with three wraps, leaving the space of approximately three wraps until the 8mm round.

Bring the wire around the bead in a slight curve then wrap around the stem of the first wrapped loop. Trim any excess wire.

Repeat to add a second wrapped link to the hole of the second crescent.

Attach the unconnected loop of each component to an ear wire.
