Cut a length of jewelry wire approximately 10 inches long. String a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube onto the end, followed by a sterling silver 5mm open jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube, creating a small loop around the jump ring, and crimp in place. Cover the crimp with a sterling silver 3mm crimp cover. String on a random pattern of beads that can include Dakota Stones 2mm turquoise heishi beads, Dakota Stones 4mm turquoise roundel beads, beads from the Artbeads Ruby Red Designer Blend, 6x9mm cranberry red mix roundel beads and 2mm fire-polished opaque champagne luster beads. Make the strand to the desired length and then string on a crimp tube and a 5mm jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Cover the crimp with a crimp cover.
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!
