What You're Saying:

"I love ordering through auntiesbeads.com! I live in a town where the closest thing to a bead store (hobby lobby) is 30 minutes away and the quality and service aren't up to par. With your website I can get most everything I need in a very short period of time and with anything that isn't available I can sign up for emails to let me know when they become available. Thank you for being my go-to bead supplier!"
- Michelle via mobile

I so much appreciate the fast service and the fast shipping when I order from Aunties's Beads! Absolutely love Beader's Advantage!
- Shelby from Oregon

I love Auntie's Beads! I feel as though I am doing business with friends; I know you care about what we think & that is so important to me! Great service, quick delivery & most of all, I LOVE Karla Kam! Karla is great and the videos are so clear and helpful! Love "our" bead chat group! Great support and encouragement! You're the best!
- Patsy from Arizona

Being rather new to jewelry making I am eager to learn. Auntie's Beads not only has the supplies I will need but also the knowledge to help. My Beader's Advantage Membership will allow me to explore this new world without going broke!!!
- Pam from Huron, Ohio

Good products at a good price...beads always "as advertised" and arrive on time.
- Richard from Tyler, Texas

I had never ordered from Auntie's Beads until Last Dec. 2011. I placed an order, and within a couple of days, it was in my mailbox. WOW!! that is Customer Service. I had ordered from other companies, and my wait time was 5-7 days. I will be placing all my orders from Auntie's Beads.
- Teri from Indianapolis

I am a fairly new beader. I would like to commend you all on your superior service. You have all the items that I need at a great price and they are always correct when they arrive. My products arrive pretty quickly. Just awesome!
- Tiana from High Point, NC

Description

I am struggling with what is my signature style. After spending time with my family it is clear that my two oldest nieces have their style pegged. I am all over the place, so these two pieces maybe an influence of Emily's vintage, sometimes "indie" style. I always make her things using the Antique Brass metals and hues that go with, so I am certain she would like this...I like it...perhaps my signature is just eclectic...I do like a bit of everything. Best part about this project, you can substitute any of the components to suit your unique style and signature!

Karla Schafer, Aunties Beads Designer

Instructions:

I will be using Rosary Loops in this construction, so please watch the Rosary Loops Video for a "how to".

~Earrings~

Note: Save your head pin clippings to be used as eye pins in the construction of the necklace.

  1. Using chain nose pliers, open the earring wire and slip it into the top loop of the earring finding and close.
  2. Drop the 8mm Crystal Bronze Shade bicone onto a head pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 5/8" and create rosary loop at the end with the wire looping pliers.
  3. Slip this dangle into the center loop of the finding.
  4. Drop a 6mm round sea glass bead onto a head pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 1/2" and create rosary at the end with the wire looping pliers.
  5. Make two of these and place them in the loops on either side of the Crystal Bronze drop.
  6. Drop a 4mm Lt. Rose bicone on a head pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 3/4" and create rosary loop at the end with the wire looping pliers.
  7. Make two of these and place them in the loops on either side of the sea glass drops.
  8. Repeat Steps 1-7 to complete the pair.


~Necklace~

When applicable, use the clippings form the head pins to create eye pins, best used within the body of the necklace, Steps 10-25.

  1. Working the focal first, drop the Fancy Square Bead onto an eye pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 1" and create rosary loop at the end with the wire looping pliers using the second level up on the jaws to make a larger loop.
  2. Slip it into one of the holes on the Antique Brass Round Link and close.
  3. Drop 8mm Crystal Bronze Shade bicone onto an eye pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 5/8" and create rosary loop at the end with the wire looping pliers on the second level to make a larger loop.
  4. Make two, and slip them onto the round link on either side of the fixed dangle.
  5. Drop a 6mm round sea glass bead onto an eye pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 1/2" and create rosary at the end with the wire looping pliers on the second level to create a larger loop.
  6. Make two of these and place them on the round link on either side of the Crystal Bronze drops.
  7. Drop a 4mm Lt. Rose bicone on an eye pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 3/4" and create rosary loop at the end with the wire looping pliers on the second level to create a larger loop.
  8. Make two of these and place them on the round link on either side of the Sea Glass drops.
  9. Drop a 6mm round sea glass bead onto a eye pin, measuring from the top of the bead, snip it to 3/4" and create rosary at the end with the wire looping pliers.
  10. Slip one end of the bead unit into the top hole of the round link and close.
  11. Cut a piece of chain about 6" in length.
  12. Attach the pendant dangle to the twelfth link or about 2" in from the end of the chain.
  13. Now working from the short end up, create a small bead unit on an eye pin or from the head pin clippings, consisting of a 4mm bronze shade bicone, measure from the top of the bead, snip to just under 3/8" and create a rosary loop.
  14. Attach one end to the short end of the chain and the other to the oval link.
  15. Make another beaded unit consisting of a 4mm Lt. Rose bicone and 6mm round sea glass.
  16. Connect this unit to the other end of the oval link and to a 2" piece of chain.
  17. Make another beaded unit consisting of a 4mm Lt. Rose bicone and a Bronze Shade.
  18. Connect to the other end of the 2" piece of chain and into one loop of the fancy square link.
  19. Create another bead unit, consisting of a 6mm round sea glass bead.
  20. Connect it into the other end of the fancy square link and an 8" piece of chain.
  21. Create another bead unit, consisting of a 6mm round sea glass bead and connect it to the other end of the 8" piece of chain.
  22. Working the other side of the necklace up, create a bead unit consisting of a Lt. Rose 8mm bicone.
  23. Connect it into the long end of the chain from the pendant and to an oval link.
  24. Create another beaded unit consisting of a 4mm Lt. Rose bicone and a 4mm Bronze Shade bicone.
  25. Connect into the other end of the oval link and to the 9 1/2" piece of chain on from the other end.
  26. To complete the necklace connect into the beaded unit on the other side of the necklace.
