Bracelet, Earrings and Necklace of Aquamarijn

You can easily make this beautiful blue set yourself with the steps below. Various techniques have been used where you can choose your own beautiful beads from our wide range. Aquamarine was used for this example. This stone has a calming effect and brings balance between body and mind.

Necklace
This necklace is a twist on the charm necklace. We start by making the charms. Two techniques are needed, one for the flowers and one for the charms with the aquamarine beads. The flowers are easy to make by following the drawing. The only thing you do differently is to thread a 4mm jumpring after step 2. You make the charms with beads using the video below.

Find the center point of the chain and attach the elongated aquamarine charm by opening the eyelet and closing it around the chain. Attach the rest of the charms as shown in the picture and then the necklace is ready!

Earrings
Cut off the head of the staple pin and twist a small eye. Use the tip of the round pliers and the video above to do this. Make a similar eye on the other side of the head pin. Now cut a piece of copper wire of about 25cm. Wrap the thread just under the eyelet you just made and, if necessary, watch the video below from 1:40 minute, how to wrap as tightly as possible. Wrap 5x and then thread 3 beads. Now wrap the thread 3x and thread 3 beads again. Repeat these 2 steps and cut the remaining thread. Make a charm from the aquamarine bead and attach it to one eyelet. Attach to the other eyelet on the stud earring.

Bracelet
Start by cutting off about 40cm of nylon thread. Fold this in half and thread a carabiner on one end. Then thread a crimp bead over both threads and slide it close to the clasp and pinch it. Now make 8 flowers as explained in the drawing, but thread a split ring after step 2. Now thread all the beads and charms and finish with a crimp bead and an extension chain. If necessary, watch the video below on how to work with a crimp bead.
