In this handcrafted fine jewelry project, the handmade pendants are made with multi-colored clusters of briolettes. We used a very simple technique to make this project.
Materials and tools: Red, purple, yellow and green glass beads drop shape 0.3mm copper wire in red, purple, yellow and green colors White cat eye beads drop shape Silver tone iron chain Jump rings Head pins Round nose plier Flat nose plier Wire cutter
Step 1: Make the briolette bails over the chain links 1st, snip a piece of red copper wire and silver tone chain; 2nd, thread wire through a red bead, fold it in half and slide the ends through the bottom link; 3rd, with pliers, wrap a loop above bead, and start to cover the briolette. Make sure that you pass loop through the last link on a short piece of chain with at least 18 links before you close the loop; 4th, carefully coil the wire around the beads and repeat process with other the beads.
5th, for every 6 links on the chain, attach a different colored briolette bail.
Step 2: Finish the handmade pendant 1st, make two cat eye dangles with head pins and form a loop on top of the bead; 2nd, cut off excess links of the briolette adorned chain, and use a jump ring to collect the pendant and the two cat bead dangles.
Step 3: Finish the necklace Snip a long piece of chain and connect two end links by a jump ring.
