Step-By-Step

Necklace:
Cut a piece of chain to the desired length and attach a jump ring to both ends using flat-nose pliers. Attach a clasp to one end.

For the charm, use the wire-wrap technique: wrap about 20 cm of iron wire around a ring charm a few times, thread a moonstone bead onto it and continue wrapping and threading until you are satisfied. Finish with a few turns without beads and cut the wire neatly.

Attach the charm to the chain with a jump ring. In the middle of the charm, hang a larger moonstone bead on a pin. Make an eyelet with round-nose pliers, attach it to the middle of the charm, and close the eyelet securely.

Watch the video below to see how to make a bracelet out of elastic.

Bracelet 2 (Crimps/Crimping Beads):

Thread a moonstone bead onto a crimp bead and make an eyelet at both ends with round-nose pliers (use the video for the necklace to see how to do this). Repeat this for several beads and hook the eyelets onto a piece of chain with approx. 12 links.

Attach a ring to both ends and attach the clasp to one side. Check that all the loops are closed properly and that there are no sharp ends sticking out.

Earrings:

Take a moonstone bead and thread it onto a pin, turn it into a charm by attaching an eyelet. Open the eyelet and attach it to the large ring. Wrap some wire around both sides and attach the ring with moonstone to an earring hook.
