Earrings and Necklace of Tourmaline

Earrings and Necklace of Tourmaline

Discover the enchanting beauty of this stunning jewellery set, featuring a necklace and earrings, all made of beautiful Tourmaline. This gemstone is known for its different kinds of colours and protective properties.

The necklace:
Start by threading the dark part of the necklace. To do this, cut about 1.5 times as much nylon thread as you want the length of the necklace. Put a good knot in the end of the thread so your beads don't fall off. Now thread the pattern as shown. When your necklace is long enough, thread a crimp bead and a split ring or extension chain, go back through the crimp bead and pinch it. Now go back through the spacer bead and then thread the coloured dots, as shown. At the end, remove the knot and thread a crimp bead - then a carabiner bead - then go back through the crimp bead with both threads. Pinch it well and cut off the excess thread.

The earrings:
Cut about 150cm of C-lon thread and make a double knot at the end. thread a crimp bead over the knot and, if necessary, use a little jewellery glue before pinching the crimp bead closed. Now thread a calotte and fold it around this. Now thread the beads as shown and use the drawing to see how to make the flowers.
