Project of the month: Stack-up Pendant

printable version

Materials:

• 2 - 3 rectangle fresh water pearls with double holes

• 6 - 8 x Swarovski^® Bicone beads (4 mm)

• 2 x 9.5" - 10" sterling silver beading chain (0.65 mm)

• 4 x sterling silver crimp beads (1 x 1 mm)

• 2 x sterling silver end caps for beading chain

• 2 x sterling silver jump rings (4 mm heavy)

• 1 x sterling silver clasp

Tools: Chain nose pliers

Estimated cost: $22 - $24

Estimated time: 30 - 45 minutes

Step 1.

String 1x crimp bead to one end of a beading chain. Flatten the crimp bead to secure. Repeat the process for the other beading chain. The crimp beads serve as stoppers for the pendant.

Step 2.

String crystals and pearls alternatively as shown on the photo to make the pendant stack. Either 2-pearl stack or 3-pearl stack will work fine. Finish the pendant stack with crystals. String 1 x crimp bead on each of the beading chain on top of the last crystal. Flatten the crimp beads to secure.

Step 3.

To add clasp: string an end cap on the end of each of the beading chain, flatten the middle section of the end cap to secure. Open a jump ring and connect the end cap to the clasp.
