Stage 1

Cut 40cm of plastic coated wire. Thread a crimp onto the end of the wire, pass the wire back through the crimp to make a small loop. Using the crimping pliers squeeze the crimp closed using the hole closest to the pliers handle. This will give your crimp a fold in the middle.

Stage 2

Flatten the crimp with the hole closest to the tip of the pliers for a neat finish and an extra squeeze with the flat part at the end of the pliers to make completely secure.

Stage 3

Pick six beads from your mix between 6 – 8mm. Thread beads onto the wire starting with a spacer bead, a tube, a spacer bead, a tube, a spacer then your pearl and a spacer, continue in this way adding a single tube between each pearl so that you add all six beads. Finish with the spacers and so that it is symmetrical.

Stage 4

Thread on a crimp, and thread the wire back through pull the crimp and pull tight to create a small loop, squeeze the crimp in the same way. Trim the excess wire on both sides. Repeat to make two more strands. Use 8-10mm beads for one strand and larger beads for the final strand.

Stage 5

Cut 12cm of chain, add a jump ring to one end, attach the three beaded lengths in order of the size of beads starting with the largest and close the jump ring. Add a jump ring to the other end of the chain.

Stage 6

Cut another 12cm of chain and add the beaded lengths in the same way. Add a jump ring with a trigger clasp to the other end to finish.

Stage 7

To make matching earrings (set two matching beads aside)
Thread a spacer, one bead of your choice, a spacer and a tube onto a headpin. Add another spacer trim the headpin 1cm above the bead, bend into a loop add an eyepin and close the loop. Thread on a spacer a tube and a spacer. Trim 1cm above the bead, bend into a loop, add a long ballwire and close the loop. Repeat to make a pair.
This is what your finished set should look like.
