7 8 910 11 12Trim and secure all wires. Attach a lobster claw
clasp at one end with a 6mm jumpring and an
8mm jumpring at the other end as an eye to the
clasp. Form around a bangle mandrel. Make the
other bracelet in the same way, with blue wires
on one side and a selection of brown and gold
wires on the other. Add a row of pearls along
the entire length of the centre of this bracelet,
coiling fi ve times around the frames to secure
between each addition.- To make the gold necklace, use a selection
of brown and gold wires to make a looped
frame approx. 25cm in length, with the triangle
weaving between the loops. With the loops
facing up, curve this frame up slightly to form
the centre of the necklace.
13. Use the tails of weaving wire on either side
to weave wires 3, 4 and 5 as follows: coil once
around wire 3, pass the weaving wire across
wires 4 and 5 and coil once around wire 5,
pass the weaving wire behind all three wires,
coil once around wire 3. Continue weaving in
this way for approx. 2cm on each side of the
necklace frame.
14. Trim wires 1, 2 and 6 to 2cm and form
decorative spirals. Arrange the spirals neatly at
the base of the section of weaving completed
in Step 13. Finish wires 3 and 5 with decorative
spirals facing away from each other. Begin
these spirals with a fairly large loop as they
will have chain added to them in the next step.
Make a loop in wire 4 in a rolldown style.
15. Add three lengths of chain in diff erent sizes
and shades of gold to each of the spirals and the
loop made in wires 3, 4 and 5 at Step 14. The
length of these wires will depend on the overall
desired length of the necklace. Finish the
chains with clasp components to either end,
attached through all three chains.
