Jewelry Set with Letter Beads and Link Chain
You can easily make this nice set yourself! It's mostly basic techniques that are covered, so it's also doable for beginners!
The necklace:
Start by making 2 pieces of 30 links. You do this by opening the 31st link. Then you cut a piece of nylon of about 30cm (this depends on the word you want to make). Thread a nylon through a link and fold it in half, so that the link falls into the loop. Keep the ends of the nylon equal and thread a crimp bead. Pinch this, leaving room to squeeze the crimp bead cover around it. Next, use this crimp bead cover and thread the letter beads you want to use. Thread a spacer bead after each letter bead. Thread a pinch bead and now pass both threads through a link on the other piece. Then go back through the crimp bead and pull this thight. Again, leave room for the crimp bead cover. Finally, finish this off with a cover again. Now attach the clasp and extension chain on both sides with a 4mm jumpring.
Time for the inner chain. Cut a piece of chain of about 38cm. Now it is convenient to make the charms first. Thread the bead onto a head pin and bend it at a 90 degree angle. cut the end, but leave about 1.5cm. With the round nose pliers, take the end of the head pin and turn an eyelet towards yourself. Even this out and then the first charm is ready. Make 9 in total (7 pieces for the necklace and 2 pieces for the earrings). Now attach the first one in the middle of the chain with a 4mm jumpring. Now leave 15 links in between each time before attaching the next one. When you're done with that, attach the ends to the jump rings where the clasp is attached to.
And then the necklace is done!
Earrings:
Hook a 4mm jumpring through the eyelet of the drop charm and the stud earring. Before closing it, hook the charm with the bead and close the jumpring. And then the earrings are done too!
