My favorite repeat “customer”, College Boy, placed another order with me for some jewelry. This time for a birthday present for one of his besties. Based on the colors he told me she likes, I chose this turquoise and silver color combo from my Design Team stash of Blue Moon Beads.
- 7 inch glass bead strand (8MM foiled turquoise beads)
- 12 inch metal spacer strand ( silver beads)
- 14 inch metal connector strand
- Silver chain, clasp
- Jump rings
For the earrings, I strung the glass beads onto head pins, and made wire wrapped loops to close. For each of the earring bead clusters, I made one longer piece using the silver spacer beads in addition to the glass beads. You’ll end up with 5 pieces per earring. One silver / glass combo piece and four other glass bead only pieces. I attached these to two large chain links using jump rings.
Using another jump ring, attach your ear wire.
For the pendant, I used a portion of the metal connector strand along with another glass and silver bead combo on a head pin. SImilar to the earrings, I doubled large links and attached the pendant with jump rings and added some leftover metal chain:
I made two more double wrapped loop pieces using the turquoise beads which I used to join two different types of chain to complete the necklace.
While these supplies were provided to me as part of my participation in the Blue Moon Bead design team, project ideas are my own. Blue Moon beads can be found at JoAnn stores nationwide along with other craft retailers.
