Earrings with semi-precious stones and matching bracelet with freshwater pearls

Earrings   Place the desired beads on an eye pin. Turn the end at least one and a half turns at a distance of 2 mm from the bead, as shown in the picture.

2   Cut off the excess eye pin using a cutting nipper.

3   Cut a piece of gold-plated chain to the desired length – too long is better than too short because it can be adjusted when finished.

4   Open the eyelet on the eye pin and attach the piece of chain. Now close the eye pin.

5   Open the hoop by pulling back the closure.

6   Add beads to the hoop in the desired pattern.

7   Now close the fastening on the hoop.

Bracelet   Add beads to the elastic cord in the desired pattern using a beading needle.

9   Once the bracelet is the desired length, secure it by tying 2–3 tight knots.

10   Finish the bracelet by cutting the elastic band to size.
