Single-Strand Necklace and Earrings with the products that helped to make this fabulous piece

To create a 23-inch necklace, use flush cutters and cut two 10-inch lengths of Accu-Flex® pearl professional-quality beading wire.

String onto one beading wire: one sterling silver 2mm smooth tube crimp and one Accu-Guard™ 4mm silver-plated tube 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 short end. Crimp, then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Cover the crimp with a silver-plated 4mm round crimp cover.

On the first 10-inch length of Accu-Flex® beading wire, string one White Lotus™ cultured freshwater 5-5.5mm semi-round pearl, followed by seven Crystal Passions® majestic green shimmer 6mm cube beads.

Fill the rest of the length with more cultured freshwater 5-5.5mm semi-round pearls, leaving enough room to finish the other end of this beading wire with a 2mm smooth tube crimp, Accu-Guard™ 4mm silver-plated tube wire protector and 4mm round crimp cover.

Set aside.

On the other 10-inch length of Accu-Flex® beading wire, string one sterling silver 2mm smooth tube crimp and one Accu-Guard™ 4mm silver-plated tube 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 short end. Crimp, then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Cover the crimp with a silver-plated 4mm round crimp cover.

Then string Crystal Passions® majestic green shimmer 2X 4mm bicone beads, leaving enough room at the other end of the beading wire to finish with a 2mm smooth tube crimp, Accu-Guard™ 4mm silver-plated tube wire protector and 4mm round crimp cover.

Set aside.

Use flush cutters to cut a 3-1/4 inch length of 8mm silver-plated steel double curb chain (approximately 9 links).

Add two 4mm 20-gauge silver-plated round jump rings to one end of this length of chain, then attach one end of the string of majestic green shimmer 2X 4mm bicone beads.

Close jump rings.

Add two 4mm 20-gauge silver-plated round jump rings to the opposite end of the 3-1/4 inch length of chain.

Pick up the other length of beaded wire. Insert the end with the single pearl into the open jump rings.

Close jump rings.

Add two 5.5mm 18-gauge silver-plated round jump rings to the open end of one beaded strand.

Insert one section of a 17x9mm silver-plated hook-and-eye clasp to the strand into the open jump rings.

Close jump rings.

Add two 5.5mm 18-gauge silver-plated round jump rings to the open end of the other beaded strand.

Attach the other section of the hook-and-eye clasp to the other beaded strand.

Close jump rings.

Use flush cutters to cut a 1-inch length of 8mm silver-plated steel double curb chain (3 links).

Set aside.

String one Crystal Passions® 4mm majestic green shimmer bicone bead, one White Lotus™ cultured freshwater 5-5.5mm semi-round pearl and one Crystal Passions® majestic green shimmer 6mm cube beads onto a 1-1/4 inches 24-gauge silver-plated eye pin.

Using a pair of chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers and flush-cutters, begin a simple loop. Attach one end of a 1-inch length of double curb chain to the simple loop before closing.

Slide the top loop of the eye pin, the end above the bicone bead, onto a 35mm silver-plated marquise ear wire. The drop should swing freely in the bottom curve of the ear wire.

Using round-nose pliers, firmly but gently pinch the ear wire so the bottom curve closes and the drop cannot slide free.

Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to create the second earring.
