Tip
By using a larger crystal in the necklace pendant, the eye is draw to the neckline. It also provides a degree symmetry to the set.
Step One
Take a chain of your desired necklace length. Attach a jump ring to both ends and a lobster clasp to one end.
Step Two
Take a headpin and slide on a seed bead ,followed by a 6mm Crystal bicone, a seed bead, a foil disc bead, a seed bead, a 4mm crystal bicone, and finally another seed bead. Cut the headpin leaving ¼ inch (1 cm) of wire and make a loop with round nose pliers. Using a jump ring, attach the drop to the centre of the chain.
Step Three
Make earrings in the same way as the pendant drop, but this time replace the 6mm crystal for a 4mm crystal. Attach ear wires to finish. Add an extra seed bead both ends of the earring if desired to make a slightly different design.
