go to www.beadaholique.com to purchase beading supplies and to get design ideas! hi this is julie with beadaholique.com andtoday i'm gonna show you a product i'm really excited about. it's these gemstone pendants and they are just gorgeous. i actually wanna hold acouple so you can see their facets in the
22 inch sterling silver snake chain, light and we've got a wide variety of stones. right here i have a sampling. i have some emerald sapphire, chalcedony some ruby and some labradorite
you can see that they are labradorite onboth sides and there in a bezel setting now the gold ones are gold vermeil andthe silver are sterling silver really nice quality and i wanted to give you some ideas of what you can do with these and then just for fun i put in some of the druzy gemstones as well and these are beautiful as well, sothey've got a flat back and on their front they're a great druzy i've pulled some different things thatare very inspiring or i that i find inspiring and i wanna share them with you. so a wide variety
at earring hooks. if you're working with a gemstone like this you might want to consider silver filled or sterling silver or perhaps gold-filled or gold vermeil as well. just a nicer quality finding to go with the really nicebeautiful quality of these gemstones. so you can seethere's a wide variety. this is just a few of the ones that we have at beadaholique.com and then i've chosen on this one to justsimply take a simple sleek gold-filled earring hook
and just put it onto the pendant in this long oval-shaped here and thatwas a very easy to do all i did was, i can show you real quick i opened up that loop at the base and then i just slid on the pendant and in literally 10 seconds ihad made an earring. i did two of those and now they look like they belong at a boutique and then another quick and easy projectis you can take just a finished chain. i have a sterlingsilver snake chain here
i added an sterling silver jump ring and ijust hung this beautiful labradorite pendant from it. those are quick and easy and then here i have a link where i justput some little pearls on a head pin, created a simple wire loop and then attached them to the link. you can see this is what it looked like, well a little smaller here but this is what it looked like before and then it comes also in a ruby and acouple other styles as well and then the final thing i want to introduce you to before i actually make a project with you which is going to be a necklace
is i wanna show you gemstone chain andpearl chain which works so well with these gemstonependants. so here i just took a length of gemstone chain inthe chalcedony and i chose the matching color for the actual little pendant, cut a couple of inches hung it from a earring hook. super simpleand now these are a great pair dangling earrings and i want to show you idid the same technique but with a non coordinatingand a non little dangling chain, just a straight gemstone chain
to create a different look but usingthe same stone and then i just chose a different earring as well. again super quick, supereasy and you can buy this stuff by the inch so you only need to buy as much as youneed. i just wanna show you a variety here of the gemstone chain and the pearl chain because this comes in a silver setting aswell. you could of matched it with that or you could have used a different color.you don't always have to make it all match but you'll see it is very pretty together and so we've got a wide variety. this just afew samples
you can see how pretty these do looktogether. so it's fun to play around with that and now i do wanna show you how toreally easily put together a necklace. so i cut myself 16 inches of pearl chain. when you purchasesomething like this you might end up with one loop that's intact and one loop that's cut. so now you wannamake sure you have two intact loops on each end. to dothat we're simply going to cut away that little last link
and i'd save that for another project. you could even make your little dangles with the pearls if you wanted to so now we're gonna complete our necklaceby taking a gold filled jump ring, opening it up linking it onto that little loop and i've alsogot here a larger closed jump ring and close up my jump ring i'm gonna go to the other side to the same thing
attach the jump ring, my little clasp as well just like that you've actually created a finished necklace and i'm going to add a pendant to it so i'm going to find the middle point, here we go take another jump ring, would help if i used my chain nose pliers instead of my cutters, open up that jumpring slip it on to my beautiful ruby pendantand slip it right over the middle point close it back up
and i have a very elegant heirloom quality finished necklace with a beautiful rubyhanging from some lovely pearls that are already connected together and you can see it didn't
take me long but it looks like it would of taken forever to make this. so that is just one more idea of what you can do with these lovelygemstone pendants.
