STEP 1
Cut a 24-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
STEP 2
String onto the length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ 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 end. Crimp, then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.
STEP 3
String the following sequence onto the beading wire 47 times:
-
One 3mm fuchsia bicone
-
One bead cap
-
One 8mm teal green amazonite round
-
One bead cap
STEP 4
String one more 3mm bicone then repeat Step 2 to complete the strand.
STEP 5
Use 6mm diamond wire jump rings to attach each end of the beaded strand to the rings of a self-closing clasp.
STEP 6
Add a 10mm diamond wire jump ring to an arrowhead focal. Add the focal to the self-closing clasp.
STEP 1
String the following onto an eye pin then create a simple loop:
-
One bead cap
-
One amazonite round
-
One bead cap
Repeat to create a second link.
STEP 2
Use 5mm jump rings to add a triangle drop to each link, creating two longer dangles.
STEP 3
Add the loop of an ear wire to each dangle.
