How to make a wired pendant

Beads and wires always have a great combination. Today, I will show you how to make a wired pendant like this:

First, you will need to choose the colors for your pendant. I've already made the chain from my previous work. It's brown so I decided to use bronze, black, crystal and white for this project. They will blend well with the chain.



several pieces of Bronze coated pearls



different sizes of crystal beads



cultured pearls, different sizes



semi-precious black stones



round crystal beads



There are different types of wires you can work with but for this design, we're going to use this fiber wire size .5

This is a twist and turn kind of thing. Using wire and hand tools and some twisting techniques, create a loop like this by alternating the beads and crystals. You can create a flower or butterfly pattern but for beginners, you can come up with a tear-like shape like this one. Start off with the biggest then the small one. Use different colors, texture and sizes. You could stretch the coiled wire to create something like this:



It's now ready for our chain (made from brown and gold glass beads)







Done! You can now wear your necklace with any semi-formal clothes. I think it will look good with any off shoulder black/white/brown blouse/dress.

With the right tools and a little practice, I have confidence that my beads will look even better. Enjoy!

Wire Earrings

This is an example of wired earrings, one of my favorites! It's kinda hard to do but it's fun. You just have to familiarize yourself with the tools, proper color combination and of course, the moves. There's really no way of properly putting and twisting them together. Just get creative, keep turning and twisting until you get your desired work. Happy beading!
