Sparkling crystal beads make a rainbow of color to frame the beautiful TierraCast Crescent Moon & Star charm. Handmade wire head pins and messy wire wraps add the fun! Make sure to shop the entire TierraCast Keep the Faith Collection for even more beautiful jewelry accents.
Tip: This necklace design will hang nicely at shorter lengths, but cut your chain to whatever length you desire. Open 1 jump ring and attach clasp bar at one end of chain. Close jump ring. Repeat at other end to attach clasp ring.
Open 1 jump ring and attach to charm. Before closing attach to center link of chain. Close jump ring.
Cut one 6" piece of craft wire. To make a knot style head pin, use round nose pliers to make a small coil (2-3 rounds) of wire at one end, then thread the uncoiled end through the coil and pull wire through.
String 1 crystal bead onto head pin. Bend wire at right angle above bead, leaving about 1/8" of space between bead and bend. Use round nose pliers to form a small loop, wrapping wire around top of bead generously. Use all wire or trim as desired. Use tip of chain nose pliers to tuck wire end in.
Repeat Steps 3-4 for remaining crystal beads.
Lay chain out on work surface in a round, or necklace, shape to determine placement of crystal dangles. Position the first three on either side of the charm about 3/4" apart. Optional: for the last two on either side add a small bit more distance between them as they will appear to hang closer together when the necklace is worn. Use jump rings to attach each dangle.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
