Dover Beaded Necklace Tutorial

Slide a Vintaj natural brass 7mm hobnail bead cap onto a Vintaj natural brass 1.5-inch 21 gauge eye pin, followed by a Czech glass orange opaline with bronze finish 9mm central cut bead and another bead cap. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads. Attach the Vintaj natural brass Etruscan filigree chandelier to the simple loop at the bottom of the dangle.

Simple Loop Tutorial

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately six inches long. Add a Czech glass transparent olivine green long narrow leaf bead to the wire and three TOHO 8/0 hybrid ColorTrends metallic Aurora red round beads on either side of the leaf. Bring both ends of the jewelry wire up through a Czech glass 4mm round bead in smoky topaz luster and an antique brass 2x2mm crimp tube. Bring both ends of the wire through a Vintaj natural brass 5mm rib cable 18 gauge jump ring and back through the crimp tube. Flatten the crimp tube in place with chain nose pliers.

Attach the leaf dangle to the bottom of the chandelier using another rib cable jump ring.
