Notes:
Make a statement with this dramatic design that's a twist on the illusion look. Three strands of Beadalon 49 Metallic Colors beading wire provide a lustrous accent for the focal pendant. |
1. Cut the following lengths of Beadalon 49: 16.5", 14", 10.5", 8.5".
2. Pass the end of the 14" Beadalon 49 through a Scrimp™ finding, make a small loop, and pass the wire back through the Scrimp™ finding. Attach the Scrimp™.
3. Leave.5" and attach a crimp tube, string a black diamond bead, and attach another crimp tube to hold it in place. Attach 11 more black diamond beads .75" apart on the wire. Make a loop and attach a Scrimp™ finding to the end.
4. Repeat Step 2 for the end of the 10.5" Beadalon 49. Leave .5" and attach a crimp tube, string a helix bead, and attach another crimp tube. Attach 9 more helix beads ¾" apart on the wire. Make a loop and attach a Scrimp™ finding to the end.
5. Repeat Step 2 for the end of the 8.5” Beadalon 49. Leave .25" and attach a crimp tube, 4mm pearl and attach another crimp tube. Attach 6 more pearls .75" apart on the wire. Make a lop and attach a Scrimp™ finding to the end.
6. Make a large wrapped loop on the end of the German-Style wire to connect it to the 40mm pendant. Pass the wire through a cube bead and make another wrapped loop. Set the pendant aside for Step x.
7. Use EZ-Crimp™ Pliers to attach half of the clasp to one end of the 16.5” Beadalon 49.
8. Pass the Beadalon 49 through nine 8mm pearls and eight cubes, alternating as shown.
9. Pass through one black diamond, the loop on the end of the black diamond illusion strand, one black diamond, one 8mm pearl, one black diamond.
