Necklace and bracelet with rose quartz and freshwater pearls

Necklace   Measure the desired length around your neck. Cut a suitable length of wire for the necklace. Attach the crimp cover and crimp bead. Pinch around the crimp bead with a pair of flat-nose pliers.

2   Squeeze the crimp cover around the crimp bead with the flat-nose pliers.

3   Now add beads to the wire in the pattern you wish. When this is done, you can attach a crimp cover and crimp bead. First, squeeze the crimp bead around the wire and then squeeze the crimp cover down around the crimp bead.

4   Take an round jump ring and open it by twisting it apart as shown in the picture.

5   Guide the round jump ring through the small hole in the clamp cover and then attach the carabiner clasp to the round jump ring. Twist the round jump ring back into place, then give it an extra squeeze with a pair of flat-nose pliers to ensure that the parts stay in place.

Repeat the process on the other end of the necklace, just without the carabiner.

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

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

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