Project Introduction

When I saw these beautiful Venetian glass star beads, I couldn’t help myself. I wanted some jewelry and I wanted it right away. I whipped up a super fast necklace and earring set so I could wear them to work the very next day. Sometimes, you just need an immediate gratification jewelry project to do, especially when you want to wear your new beads.

All the supplies for this set, except for the sterling wire, came from Gems2Behold.

Materials and equipment:

1 - 20mm star silver foil glass bead
2 – 13mm star silver foil glass beads
6 – 4mm Swarovski bicone rose crystal beads
Approx. 12-15 inches of 22-guage, round dead soft sterling wire
2 sterling French ear hooks
**1 sterling 18inch 1.3mm Omega Chain
Round-nosed pliers
Ben-nosed (or flat) pliers
Wire cutters
*Nylon-nosed pliers
