Amazonite Gemstone Jewelry

Several techniques were used for this beautiful amazonite jewellery set. Each technique is explained step by step and you can of course also apply it to any of our other gemstones!

Necklace
Start by making all the charms. For the necklace, we'll make 3 different charms 9 times. Use the handy video below to see how best to do it.

Now take the chain and cut the middle link and attach a 4mm jumpring to the place you just cut. Open the eye of the charm and attach it to the jumpring. Hang the charm with the disc beads in the middle. Count 25 links further and cut the 25th link and repeat the steps as described above. Repeat until you have attached 9 bundles of charms and then the necklace is ready.

Earrings
Make the charms for the earrings as explained in the video above and hang the charms on the earring.

Bracelets
We start with the bracelet with elastic. Thread the beads onto the elastic and tie a double knot. use jewellery glue on the knot and let it dry. Cut the elastic and the bracelet is ready. We have a handy video for this too, which you can watch below:

For the bracelet with the chip beads, cut a piece of copper wire of about 8cm. Leave about 2cm and grab the copper wire with your round pliers. Bend the 2cm piece around the round pliers to make a loop. Now wrap the rest of this 2cm around the longest piece of copper wire. Thread a chip bead and put your round pliers about 0.5cm above the chip bead. Bend the remaining thread towards the chip bead to make another eye. Now twist the copper wire around itself again as you did at the beginning. Cut off the thread and cut a new piece of about 8cm. Now hook the eye of the previous chip bead to this new piece of copper wire. so we can connect the two. Make an eyelet and repeat all the steps until the bracelet is long enough. Finally, attach the chapter clasp with a 4mm jumpring to the ends.

Used materials:
Gemstone disc beads, we used the amazonite heisha beads
Natural gemstone beads 4mm, we used amazonite (for earrings and necklace)
Amazonite gemstone chips beads turquoise (for bracelets and necklace)
Stainless steel headpins (2 bags needed if you want to make the necklace, otherwise 1 bag is enough)
Stainless steel 4mm jumprings
Spacer beads, unfortunately the beads from the example are no longer available from our supplier, this may be a good alternative (2 bags needed for the earrings and 1 bag for the necklace)
Stainless steel earrings (only needed for the earrings)
Stainless steel chain 2mm (for the necklace)

Earrings
For the earrings, first thread a gold disc bead and then an amazonite disc bead. Repeat until you have strung 8 amazonite disc beads. Now twist an eyelet as explained above in the video and make sure the eyelet is wide enough to hang the charm on the earring. The second charm you make is almost the same. Thread a gold disc bead and an amazonite disc bead. Now thread 2 gold disc beads and finish with an amazonite and gold disc bead. Again, attach an eye. Thread the charms onto the earring and repeat the steps for the second earring.

Materials needed:
Stainless steel staples (27 staples needed for the necklace, the rest is enough to make the other items)
Designer quality disc beads 4x1.5mm (1 bag is enough to make the whole set)
Round pliers
Cutting pliers
Heishi gemstone disc beads amazonite 4x2mm (1 bag is enough to make the whole set)
Stainless steel earrings 18k gold plated 17x2.5mm

Bracelets
We start with the bracelet with elastic. Thread the amazonite beads onto the elastic and thread a gold disc bead after every 5th bead. Repeat until you have used 8 disc beads. Cut the elastic and tie a double knot. use jewelry glue on the knot and let it dry. Cut the elastic off and the bracelet is ready.

For the bracelet with the chip beads, cut a piece of copper wire of about 8cm. leave about 2cm and grab the copper wire with your round pliers. Bend the 2cm piece around the round pliers to make a loop. Now wrap the rest of this 2cm around the longest piece of copper wire. You may want to do the last tip with the flat pliers so that no sharp pieces remain. Thread a chip bead and put your round pliers about 0.5cm above the chip bead. Bend the remaining wire toward the chip bead to make another eye. Now twist the copper wire around itself again as you did at the beginning. Cut off the remaining wire and cut a new piece of about 8cm. Now hook the eye from the previous chip bead to this new piece of copper wire. We are going to join the two pieces together. Bend the new piece again at about 2cm and wrap it around the long piece again. If all goes well, you now have an eye with the previous intermediate piece we made attached to it. Now thread another chip bead and repeat all the steps until the bracelet is long enough. Finally, attach the chapel clasp with a 4mm jumpring to the ends.
