 Aqua,
Peridot, and Crystal Bracelet and Earring Set
This bracelet and earring set is very reasonable
to make and has great springtime colors. Please note, the picture
of the earrings shows G/P Euro Ear Wires but since we no longer carry these,
we have substitued G/P French Hook Ear Wires in the materials list.

Directions:
Step 1: (Bracelet & Earrings)
Add eye pins to 15 Peridot rounds, 14 Aqua rounds, and 22 Crystal Clear
rounds. Slide one round onto one 1" eye pin. Using a flat nose pliers,
bend the 3/16" piece of wire 90°. Using wire cutters, cut off the excess
eye pin leaving approximately 3/16". Using a round nose pliers, bend the
3/16" piece of wire into a loop, and close it tight with your flat nose
pliers.
Step 2: (Earrings) 
These earring are made by connecting jump rings and eye pin loops which
hold the round beads. You can use head pins but I thought the loops on
the ends match the circle of the jump rings. Using two flat nose pliers
open one jump ring, add a Euro-style lever back earring hook and a second
jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the second jump ring, add one eye pin with a Peridot round (from
step one) and third jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the third jump ring, add one eye pin with a Aqua round (from step
one) and fourth jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the fourth jump ring, add one eye pin with a Clear round (from
step one) and fifth jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the fifth jump ring, add the sixth jump ring and close it tight.
Open the sixth jump ring, add one eye pin with a Peridot round (from
step one) and seventh jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the seventh jump ring, add one eye pin with a Aqua round (from
step one) and eighth jump ring, and close it tight.
Open the eighth jump ring, add one eye pin with a Clear round (from
step one) and close it tight.
Repeat this step to make the second earring.
Step 3: (Bracelet)
This bracelet consists of three strands which alternate Peridot/Clear/Aqua/Clear
beads on eye pins which are connected via jump rings.
Top and Bottom strands:
Open one jump ring, add one eye pin with a Peridot round (from step
one) and one eye pin with a Clear round (from step one), and close it tight.
Open second jump ring, add one eye pin with a Aqua round (from step
one) and other end of Clear round on first jump ring, and close it tight.
Open third jump ring, add one eye pin with a Clear round (from step
one) and other end of Aqua round on second jump ring, and close it tight.
Continue connecting jump rings to eye pin loops until the strand has
4 Peridot rounds, 3 Aqua rounds, and 6 Clear rounds.
Repeat for second strand.
Middle strand:
Open one jump ring, add one eye pin with a Aqua round (from step one)
and one eye pin with a Clear round (from step one), and close it tight.
Open second jump ring, add one eye pin with a Peridot round (from step
one) and other end of Clear round on first jump ring, and close it tight. 
Open third jump ring, add one eye pin with a Clear round (from step
one) and other end of Peridot round on second jump ring, and close it tight.
Continue connecting jump rings to eye pin loops until the strand has
3 Peridot rounds, 4 Aqua rounds, and 6 Clear rounds.
Step 4: (Bracelet)
Using two flat nose pliers open a jump ring, add top clasp hole and
top strand eye pin with a Peridot round (from step three), and close it
tight. Open a jump ring, add middle clasp hole and middle strand eye pin
with a Aqua round (from step three), and close it tight. Open a jump ring,
add bottom clasp hole and bottom strand eye pin with a Peridot round (from
step three), and close it tight. Repeat these step with other end of clasp.
Make sure the clasp ends holes face each other when laying flat. In other
words make sure the clasp will close properly.
Hope you enjoyed this project and enjoy wearing your new jewelry.
