Making 1st Set of Necklace
This Set hangs to the Necklace
Insert Golden Spacer Beads inside the Head Pin, cover it with a Pearl White Glass Bead (10mm) and close the Head Pin with Spacer Beads.
Reduce the Size of the Head Pin by making a Cut. Leaving 1/4th space of Gap and Bend it using Nose Pliers as shown in the Image.
Completing 1st Set of Necklace
Now take a Eye Pin along with the Half done 1st Set of Necklace and Insert the Eye pin into it as per the Image.
Then insert small Pearl White Glass Beads (6mm) then Cut the remaining Eye Pin portion using Cutter leaving only 1/4 Gap for Bending. Then Bend the remaining Gap using Nose Pliers.
Your 1st Set of Necklace is Ready now.
Making and Completing 2nd Set of Necklace
The 2nd Set goes in between the necklace. The process is same similar to the 1st Set.
Use a Eye Pin insert spacer beads along with the Pearl White Glass Beads (10mm) and close it with spacer then Cut and Bend it as per the Image.
Your 2 Sets for the Necklace is Ready
Completing the Necklace
Now Take a Gear Wire of 38.5" and insert Jump ring into it. Tie the Jump ring in between the Gear Wire as per the Image. Also insert Sewing Needle to both the ends of the Silver Gear Wire. Now Insert 3 White Glass Beads (10mm) into both the Needles as shown in the picture and slide it through the end.
Now insert 5 Glass Beads in one side of the Gear Wire, similarly do the same for the other side of the Wire.
Insert 2nd Set of Necklace in both the Sewing Needle as shown in the Image and 1st Set of Necklace and make a pattern as per the Image.
To close the Necklace insert 5 Glass Beads on both the side of the Gear Wire as we did previously and then insert 3 Glass Beads in both the Needles and close the Necklace with Jump ring.
After Closing the Necklace with Jump ring , Tie a knot to it. This is important if you don't do that the Glass Beads will fall off and again you have start from beginning.
Now the Final step is to add Necklace Dori to it and then your Necklace is completed. If you wish you can stop here and use the Necklace. If you also want to have Ear-rings please follow the next steps.
Making of Circular Design
Take a Half Cut Glass Bead put some Jewellery/Beads Glue on it and paste it on the OHP Sheet. Put some more glue on the sides of the Half Cut Glass Bead . Now put Golden Ball Chain with spaces on the edge of the Half Cut Glass Bead . After completing 1 cycle cut the chain and again do 1 more round.
Now take a Head Pin insert a small pearl white glass beads into it and cut the Head pin leaving 1/4th of space. Now insert that portion into the edge of the half Cut Glass Bead. Keep inserting until it completes one circular round.
Let it dry for 16-20hrs . This is Important step. If you don't let it dry properly , the Beads might get detach and again you have to start. Don't worry about the White glue as soon as it cures it would become Translucent. Don't use any other glue (Super- glue, Rubber based glue etc) it would leave ugly residue on it.
Completing the Circular Design
Now take a Six Eye-pins cut it in half and glue it on the Cured 1st Set of Ear-ring. See image how I placed the Eye - pin as a group of 3.
Now take a piece of OHP sheet cut it in circular shape of Diameter - 25mm and insert Head Pin into it as shown in the picture and place in on Top of the 1st Set of Ear-ring. Let it cure now for 16-20hrs for Good results.
Use OHP sheet only. In the picture I have used paper mistakenly.
Completing Set of Ear-rings
Now we will make Hanging Cap beads and attach to our Circular Design which we made earlier.
Insert a Spacer Bead into the Head pin and Cut it using Cutter leaving 1/4 of Gap for Bending then Bend it little .
Now insert that half bended into the Cap Bead and completely bend it inside it. Don't insert into the Cap bead and try to bend it would be difficult to do so. Instead bend it little and rest of it Bend it inside the Cap Bead.
Make a formation of 8 Bendings as shown in the photos and then Insert a head pin into the Cap Bead , Cut it and Bend it .
Use White Bead chain of varying length as shown in the picture and insert it into the Cap Beads. Similarly make a cut of varying lengths of White Bead chain as shown in the picture.
Now attach all the things to the Circular half done Ear-ring as per the picture.
Our Ear-ring is completed now. Similarly make one more of other Ear so that you would have complete set of Ear-rings .
Our Jewellery set is Completed. Hope you enjoyed making your own Jewellery set. Thank You !!
