Pearls n' metals

The metal beads looked fancy and were available in different shapes and sizes. I picked the square ones and decided to combine them with some pearl for a different look.


You'll need:

For the bracelet:

Oval cultured pearls
Assorted 14mm square metal beads
Heart-shaped toggle & clasp set
Tiger tail jewelry wire
Crimp beads: 2
Jump rings

For the earrings:

Oval cultured pearls: 2
Metal square beads: 2
Fish hooks: 2
Eye-pins: 2

You'll also need:

Needle-nose pliers or crimp pliers

To make the bracelet: Attach jump rings to the square beads. String the pearls and the jump rings (with the metal beads on them) to your liking and finish the bracelet using basic technique C.

To make the earring: Attach the metal bead to the eye of the eyepin. String the pearl on the pin and finish the earring using basic technique A.
