Always a Bridesmaid - Necklace

Mon, 04 May 2009 23:00:52 GMT

Created by:Cindy Morris

This design is made with CRYSTALLIZED� � Swarovski Elements.

1 str #29-555-10-011 10mm round shell pearls, white
35 #20-241-015 Charlotte-cut size 13 seed beads, cream
1 #05-650-16-09 CRYSTALLIZED� 16mm cubist bead, light amethyst
1 #39-541-11 9x15mm oval no-trigger lobster clasp, sterling silver (used here as a "pearl enhancer")
1 #37-295-680 8mm jump ring, sterling silver
1 #37-295-250 5mm jump ring, sterling silver
1 #37-572 2" ball-end head pin, sterling silver
2 #41-552 Size 1 crimp tubes, sterling silver
2 #41-045 Cable thimble wire protectors, sterling silver
16" #61-810-49-87 0.015" 49-strand Beadalon�, bright steel
1 #39-550-U Flat flower toggle clasp, sterling silver

Seed beads quickly create the look of a traditional knotted pearl strand in a fraction of the time!

Make the clip-on "strand enhancer" with colors that match the bridesmaids dresses!

TIP: Start and end the strand with a pearl so the stringing cable can double back through the first bead.

TIP: You must use a small jump ring to attach the bar end of toggle or you won't be able to close it.

See our Beading Cable Technique Sheet for stringing instructions.

Happily Ever After (Bridal Necklace and Earrings)

Mon, 22 May 2006 18:54:45 GMT

Created by: Jonna Fallis

This design is made with CRYSTALLIZED� � Swarovski Elements.

61-103-19-87 19-strand Beadalon(R), bright steel
37-515 1.5" thin head pins, sterling silver
05-301-03-160 CRYSTALLIZED� 3mm crystal bicone beads, crystal/ silver shade
20-634-011 4mm cultured freshwater roundish pearls, white
20-693-06-011 6mm wire-hole cultured freshwater potato pearls, white

34-562 Plain French-hook ear wires, sterling silver
39-582 Pearl clasp, sterling silver
41-553 Size 3 crimp tubes, sterling silver

All it takes to make this lovely necklace is two strands of stringing cable (beading wire), some beads, and a few cleverly placed crimp tubes. Simply string each side of your necklace with alternating pearls and crystal beads most of the way down. Then, add a crimp tube to the 'upper' portion of your "Y" dangle, and continue stringing beads down each side of the "Y." Once you've added your final large pearl, add another crimp tube to each end and secure it closed.

Freshwater pearls are just one of our many beautiful gemstones. Browse through our Gemstone Beads Index for more information about our ever-growing line of gemstones!
