Retired - Coastal Riches Jewelry Set

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. To begin making your bracelet, use flush cutters to cut 4 inches of 22 gauge wire and make a wrapped wire loop at least 5mm in diameter, sliding on the wider end of one gold cowrie before closing the loop. Trim the extra wire.
2. Onto your wire, slide one 6mm open bead cap with the cup side facing away from the cowrie. Next, slide on one purple pear shaped pearl through the wide end. Then slide on one 6mm cone flower bead cap so that it fits snug against the smaller end of the pearl (see photo for reference). Create another 5mm wrapped wire loop, this time sliding on the wider end of one silver cowrie before closing the loop.
3. Cut 4 inch length of wire and create another wrapped wire loop, sliding on the opposite end of the silver cowrie you attached in step 2. Close the loop and trim the wire.
4. Repeat step 2, but this time slide on a green pearl.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 to follow the pattern for a total of 4 pearls and 5 cowries (see photo for reference), or until you have reached your desired length.
6. To attach your clasp, open a 7mm jump ring and slide on the end of a cowrie on one side of your bracelet. Also slide on the loop of your clasp. Close the jump ring.
7. Next, open another 7mm jump ring and slide on the end of the cowrie on the other side of your bracelet. Close the jump ring.
8. To make your earring, take a 2 inch head pin and slide on one 6mm open cap with the cup side facing up. Next, slide on one grey pearl with the wide end facing down. Then slide on one 6mm cone flower bead cap so that it fits snug against the pearl. Create a 5mm wrapped wire loop, sliding on the wider end of one gold cowrie before closing the loop. Trim the extra wire.
9. To attach your earring hook, open a 5.4mm jump ring and slide on the opposite end of the cowrie you attached in the previous step. Also slide on the loop of your earring hook. Close the jump ring. To get your earring to face forward, change the orientation of your earring hook. Enjoy!
