Rose Water Rhapsody Necklace Tutorial

Using alchol wipes, clean all of the rhodium-plated charm settings and set aside to dry.

Glue a 14mm pear fancy stone in Rose Water Opal into one of the charm settings using epoxy adhesive. Repeat two times and set aside for 24 hours to dry.

Using a 2-inch 22 gauge sterling silver eye pin, attach one pendant made in Step 2 and then slide on one 6mm nickel-plated filigree bead cap, one 8mm Crystal Moonlight Fine Rocks Tube bead without ending, and one bead cap. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads. You can also make a simple loop, but a wrapped loop will keep the beads in place tightly. Repeat one more side to make a total of two dangles and set aside.

Simple Loop Tutorial

Using an eye pin, attach one pendant made in Step 2, then slide on one bead cap, one 15mm Crystal Moonlight Fine Rocks Tube bead without ending, and one bead cap. Make a simple or wrapped loop to close.

Cut two lengths of jewelry wire each approximately 20 inches long.

Use both wires together, slide on the following beads:

• One 6mm Bicone in Crystal Shimmer
• One component made in Step 3
• One 6mm Crystal Shimmer bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal AB 2x bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal bicone
• One 6mm Crystal Shimmer bicone
• One component made in Step 4
• One 6mm Crystal Shimmer bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal AB 2x bicone
• One 4mm Rose Water Opal bicone
• One 6mm Crystal Shimmer bicone
• One component made in Step 3
• One 6mm Crystal Shimmer bicone

Position all of these in the center of the two strands of wire.

Take all of the remaining 4mm bicone beads and pour them onto your bead mat. Mix them all together.

Starting with the right side of the necklace, and only using one of the two wires coming out of the 6mm bicone bead, string on three 3mm Rose Water Opal bicone beads. Then, using your bead mix you created in Step 7, randomly string on 42 4mm bicone beads. Repeat this step for the second empty wire on this side of the necklace.

Using both wires, slide on one sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube and one half of the TierraCast rhodium-plated pewter toggle set. Bring both wires back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a sterling silver 3mm crimp cover.
