Jewelry Making Idea: Golden Jewelry Set

Golden Jewelry Set
The mixture of gold, topaz, and crystal blend so nicely together, making a sparkling new jewelry set fit for a queen! With earth browns being a hot color for the spring and summer season, you'll be all set with this stunning combination. You will have leftover beads and findings to design something else or to lengthen the bracelet, necklace, or earrings, if you so desire.

Directions:
Necklace Directions:
The finished length will be about 17”. The necklace should fit like a choker, so if you would like it longer, you may add more Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Beads on the ends.
Step 1. Cut a strand of SoftFlex about 18” long.
Step 2. String the SoftFlex through 1 Crimp Bead, then through the loop of one end of the Toggle and then back through the Crimp Bead. Snug the Crimp Bead up to the Toggle and crush the Crimp Bead. Trim the end.
Step 3. String the following beads:
1 Silver Crystal Cube Seed Bead
One 4mm Topaz Crystal
1 Silver Crystal Cube Seed Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 5mm Topaz Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 6mm Gold Lined Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
One 4mm Topaz Crystal
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
1 Pearl
Repeat the above pattern 4 more times.
Step 4. Repeat the pattern from Step 3 once, leaving out the Pearl at the end.
Step 5. Repeat Step 2 with the other end of the Toggle Clasp.

Bracelet Directions:
Step 1. Cut 3 strands of SoftFlex, each about 10” long.
Step 2. String 1 strand of SoftFlex through a Crimp Bead, then through the loop of one end of the Toggle Clasp and back through the Crimp Bead. Crush the Crimp Bead and trim the excess.
Step 3. Repeat Step 2 with second and third strands.
Step 4. String the following beads onto the middle strand:
1 Pearl
1 Silver Crystal Cube Seed Bead
One 4mm Topaz Crystal
1 Silver Crystal Cube Seed Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 5mm Topaz Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 4mm Gold Lined Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
One 4mm Topaz Crystal
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
Step 5. Repeat the above pattern 2 more times.
Step 6. Repeat Step 2 with the other end of the Toggle Clasp.
Step 7. For the other 2 strands of your bracelet (the outside strands), you will string just Gold Miyuki Seed Beads in any order. (Note: You will want to be sure that the length of all three strands matches up)
Step 8. Repeat Step 2 with these 2 strands and the other end of the Toggle Clasp.
The finished length will be about 7 1/2”.

Earring Directions:
Step 1. Cut a length of Gold Wire about 6” long.
Step 2. Spiral the Wire around a pen or a pencil about 5 times to give the earring its shape.
Step 3. Take the Wire off the pencil and stretch it out (Note: the farther that you stretch it, the easier the beads will slide on. If, in making the earrings, the Wire loses some of its shape, you will be able to re-shape it, as desired, once all the beads are strung on).
Step 4. Bend about 3/16” piece of Wire 90 degrees. Using Round Nose Pliers, bend the piece of Wire into a loop, and close tightly.
Step 5. Place the following beads onto the Wire:
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
One 6mm Gold Lined Crystal
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 5mm Topaz Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
One 6mm Gold Lined Crystal
1 MET Gold Pony Bead
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
One 4mm Topaz Crystal
1 Lumi Rose Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
1 Silver Lined Crystal Cube Seed Bead
1 Silver Lined Gold Pony Bead
Step 6. Once all the beads are on the wire, make a small loop at the bottom of the wire to keep them from falling off.
Step 7. Using a Wire Cutter cut off the excess Wire, leaving 3/16”. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the 3/16” piece of Wire 90 degrees. Using Round Nose Pliers, bend the piece of Wire into a loop, and close tightly.
Step 8. Twist open a Jump Ring and insert it into the loop that you just made with the Wire, and then the Ear Wire. Twist the Jump Ring Closed.
Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for the second earring. Enjoy!
