I fell in love with the Seahorse pendent and here's a set to go with that. I also made a watch, for the first time.

If you like any of my sets, and would like me to make a similar one for you, I would be more than happy to make it custom-made for you. Also, if you like more detailed steps, let me know.




For the necklace:

15mm Filigree Clasp nickel: 1
Small cable chain
10mm Glass Light Sapphire with silver plated mesh: 4
Sterling silver cylindrical spacers: 2
Sterling silver eye-pins- 3
6/0 "E" glass beads: 2
2mm clear glass beads: 2
Silver jump-rings: 2

For the bracelet:

Sterling silver bracelet
10mm Glass Light Sapphire with silver plated mesh: 4
Headpins: 4
Eye-pins: 4
Cylindrical spacers: 3
10 mm Round spacers: 2
4mm round spacers: 4

For the earrings:

Sterling silver fish-hooks: 2
10mm Glass Light Sapphire with silver plated mesh: 2
Sterling silver Headpins: 2
Sterling silver Eye-pins: 2

For the watch:

Tiger tail jewellery wire
10mm Glass Light Sapphire with silver plated mesh: 3
Sterling silver magnetic clasp
6/0 "E" beads green
Cylindrical spacers: 2
Silver crimp beads: 2

You'll also need:

Round-nose pliers
Needle-nose pliers
Wire cutters

To make the necklace:

To an eye-pin, string the seahorse pendent between two 2 mm clear glass beads. Form a loop using the method in basic technique A. After this is done, the pin would have eyes on both sides. To the other two eye-pins, string a mesh plated sapphire bead, a cylindrical spacer and then again a sapphire bead, forming a loop on the other end forming eyes on both sides like above. Attach silver chains to each end of the seahorse pin. To the end of the chains, attach the eye of the sapphire beaded pin and then attach the chain to your required length. Repeat this on the other end as well. Attach the chain to the filigree clasp using jump rings.

To make the bracelet:

Attach the round spacers to each headpin and form a loop using the basic technique A, attaching the loop to an eye-pin. String the mesh plated bead on the pin, and form a loop again as above. On the sterling silver bracelet, remove the screwable head of the bracelet string the beads in this order- a round spacer, the sapphire bead, a cylindrical spacer, repeating as you like and end with the round spacer.

To make the earrings:

Attach the round spacers to each headpin and form a loop using the basic technique A, attaching the loop to a eye-pin. String the mesh plated bead on the pin, and form a loop again as above. Attach the loop to the fish hook.

To make the watch:

Attach the crimp bead to one end of the watch using the method in basic technique C and string the green beads, the sapphire beads and silver spacer in the order shown. Attach the magnetic clasp after this, using the crimp beads to attach the string to the clasp.
