A simple technique with gorgeous results!
This set uses a simple technique to create a gorgeous finish. Hammering is not essential but I like the matt finish that it gives to the jump rings. Set some time aside though as it is not the quickest jewellery set to make!

Step 1
Use a hammer and bench block to flatten five of your jump
rings.

Skip to step 3 if you are not going for a hammered finish.
Step 2
Use a pair of multi pliers to gently squeeze back into the
round.

Skip this step if you are not going for a hammered finish.
Step 3
Open four jump rings and put one rocaille on each one, alternating the colours and close the ring again.
Step 4
Next open one jump ring and hang the previous four on it and close the jump ring.
Step 5
Open four more jump rings,
add a rocaille to each and then
close. Open another jump ring
and hang the four from it. Attach
this jump ring to the previous
cluster ensuring you attach it in
the middle of the four with
rocailles on. Continue in this
way until the piece is the
desired length. My necklace is
approximately 45cm
Step 6
Attach a jump ring to a trigger clasp and join to one end of
your necklace and a chain of three hammered jump rings to the
other.
Step 7
Make a cluster of four jump rings in the same way and attach a second cluster of four. Add a cluster of three, then two and a final one to create a tapered effect. Attach a long ballwire
to the centre jump ring of the first cluster of four.
Step 8
Make the bracelet in exactly the same way as the necklace.
Mine is approximately 18cm including the clasp.
