Spring Raindrop Necklace

Spring Raindrop Necklace
Tutorial
This quick-to-make necklace features an Elaine Ray Pierced Pear bead. The
bead has a large center hole and two hidden side holes. We’ve used head
pins to create loops on the sides of the bead. That crystal Swaroski chain
gives the necklace a bit of snazzy sparkle. You can wear this design alone
or layer it with other necklaces. The Swaroski chain may twist and roll a bit
as you wear it but that adds to the sparkle and movement of the necklace.
Finished length 16.5 inches • Designer Cynthia Deis
1
Thread a head pin through one of the
small holes on the pear bead so that
the head of the pin is inside the large
piercing on the pear bead. Bend head
pin, trim to 1/3 inch with wire cutters
and loop with round nose pliers.
Repeat using remaining head pin.
2
Using your chain nose pliers attach
a crimp-on end to crystal chain by
pressing the crimp-on end around the
last crystal on the chain length. Repeat
until both sections of chain have ends
attached.
3
Using your chain nose pliers attach
one section of chain to the looped
head pin on one side of the Elaine Ray
bead by gently opening the loop and
feeding the head pin through the ring
on the crimp-on end. Repeat with the
other chain section on the other side
of the Elaine Ray bead.
