Sparkly Pendant and Necklace

Today's project is a very sparkly Swarovski crystal necklace and a matching pendant. The focal for the pendant measures about 1.2cm across , yeah its a big crystal surrounded by two 6mm round crystals and four 4mm bicone crystals. The necklace measures about 20 inches in length consisting of 30 pieces 6mm donut Swarovski Crystal and gold filled metal beads, 60 of them. If the pendant and crystals look familiar, this design is actually based on my sparkly ring design and also a pair of earrings I made earlier using the same wire wrapping.

NEW: Step by Step Tutorial for Wire Wrap Donut Pendant

Update Aug 2020 - This tutorial is no longer available in my shop.

I am very happy to announce that I have released my second tutorial just a moment ago. This step by step tutorial is for wire wrapping a donut pendant - floral motive. Although I mentioned that the project is for intermediate level, if you are a beginner, you will find out that with the clear pictorial instructions, it is not difficult to follow at all. This tutorial is now available at my Etsy Shop - WireBliss and here as well.

Tutorial in the Making & Corra's Ring

For the last few days I have been busy in between work and home affairs with a new project. Yeah! I am in the process of preparing my second e-tutorial. This time around its a project for wire wrapping a donut pendant. I am hoping to get it done in the next couple of days so check back if you are interested. Here is a sneak peak of one of the picture I have taken and halfway processing them. And here are two Sparkly Crystal Rings made by Corra of decorshandmades recently based on my Sparkly Crystal Ring Tutorial. I like the metallic silver one. Corra also has a ring tutorial made available recently. She named it Zhu Ring, incorporating another Chinese into wired jewelry. She is a specialist in this field I must say :)

Saturday Projects

Made these few pieces today. Still with ring and earrings. The ring is made for myself. This is the first time I use Cherry Quartz and I love the color. Refreshing and feminine. The earring is a commissioned piece, a proud owner of the same designed sparkly pearl ring. Finally, a wire name for "WireBliss". Need to do something with it later. Hopefully it works.

Sparkly Crystal Ring by Candice

Sparkly Crystal Ring Tutorial ******************************** Here is another sample of the sparkly crystal ring made based on my Sparkly Crystal Ring tutorial. This is made by Candice of The Fortunes of Me. Here is what Candice said about my Sparkly Ring Tutorial:

I just purchased your Sparkly Ring tutorial yesterday and made my first Sparkly Ring today. I could not believe how easy this ring was to make. The instructions were written out so clearly and there were so many illustrations that anyone could make this ring. This ring design is so versatile. I made this, my first, with an 8mm swarovski pearl and sterling silver. I will be keeping it for myself. But there will definitely be more Sparkly Rings to come from me and it is all thanks to you and your design.

If you would like to purchase the tutorial for this ring, look to the top right hand side column of this blog. Otherwise, you can check it out at my Etsy Shop - WireBliss. Happy wrapping!
