I loved the round glass pearls and I bought a couple of types. I used the pieces of chains to get a trendy look.

You will only need to use Basic technique A that is illustrated in more detail on a separate page on my blog. http://priyasjewelbox.blogspot.com/p/basic-techniques.html


For the necklace:
Round glass pearls metal gold & cream 7" strings: 2
Pearl textured gold glass pearls 7" string: 1
18K gold chain
18K gold eye-pins: 3
18K gold barrel clasp- 1

For the bracelet:
Round glass pearls metal gold & cream 7" string
Pearl textured gold glass pearls 7" string
18K gold eye-pins: 3
18K gold magnetic clasp

For the earrings:
Round glass pearls metal gold & cream beads
Pearl textured gold glass pearls 
18K gold eye-pin: 2
18K fish hooks: 2

Tools:
Needle-nose pliers
Round-nose pliers
Wire-cutters

To make the necklace: Attach eye-pins to 3 textured gold beads and form loop using basic technique A. Attach chains (cut to your desired length) to each end. Using the jump rings attach the round glass pearls metal gold & cream 7" strings to the free ends of the chains as seen in the picture. To the free end of the chains attach the barrel clasp.

To make the bracelet: Disassemble one of the strings (made up of 8 pearls with rings) to get 2 strings of 3 pearls with rings and 2 single pearls with rings. Keep the single pearls aside for making earrings. Attach eye-pins to three textured gold beads. Attach one of them each to either side of the 3 bead string and one to the middle. Attach the magnetic clasp in the middle of the textured beads.

To make the earrings: String the textured gold bead on the eye-pin. To the eye of the pin, attach the round glass white & cream pearl. Attach the other end to the fish hook, using basic technique A.
