Susanna Necklace Tutorial

Add a TierraCast brass oxide pewter 5mm leaf bead cap to a 925/10 silver-filled 1 ½-inch 22 gauge head pin, followed by a 8mm briolette bead in Rose Peach Shimmer 2x, and a 5mm Bicone in Light Siam Shimmer. Attach it to the loop of the sterling silver 22 gauge 3-inch bead cap eye pin by making a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.

Wrapped Loop Tutorial

Add a 6mm briolette bead in Light Colorado Topaz Shimmer 2x to the eye pin, followed by The Straw Hat by Peter Rubens on black agate rectangle bead. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.

Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. Slide a TierraCast 2x2mm brass oxide brass crimp tube onto the end of the wire, followed by a TierraCast medium oval brass oxide pewter open jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place.

Add the following pattern to the wire:

• One Light Siam Shimmer bicone
• One bead cap
• One 8mm Rose Peach Shimmer briolette
• One 6mm Light Colorado Topaz Shimmer briolette

Repeat this pattern once and then add a Light Siam Shimmer bicone to the wire. Add the pendant and then make a mirror image of the bead pattern on the other side of the pendant.

Add a crimp tube to the end of the wire, followed by an oval jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp covers on each end of the beaded strand with a TierraCast brass oxide 3mm crimp cover.

Add a JBB 2mm antique vintage brass-plated pewter fancy crimp end with loop to each end of the leather by flattening the middle of the finding around the leather with chain nose pliers.
