This idea is about Lampwork European beads jewelry set—a bracelet and a pair of earrings. We all know that European style jewelry (Pandora style jewelry) is very popular among women. They are elegant and unique. Let’s start to make your own set. You need the following materials: 3pcs red European lampwork beads with vivid flowers (about 14-15mm wide, 9-10mm long), 8pcs red faceted round glass beads (about 8mm in diameter), 4pcs tube beads, 2pcs Tibetan style spacer beads, several Tibetan style flower bead caps in different designs, 2pcs headpins and 2pcs earring hooks. Let’s make the earrings first. String a flower bead cap, a lampwork European bead, a larger bead cap, a faceted glass bead and a flower bead cap on a headpin, and use your round nose jewelry plier to make a loop on the top of the flower bead cap. Attach the whole beaded pendant on the ring of earring hook. Create the other earring by the same method. Now let’s make a bracelet. It is very easy to make. Cut off a length of memory wire, and string a flower bead cap and glass bead on. Use your round nose plier to make a loop with the wire at the end of cap and hide the rest length of loop into the hole of cap and glass bead. And then, string all the rest Tibetan style caps, spacer beads, European lampwork beads, glass beads and tube beads on the wire in the same order on the picture. The last step is making a loop at the other end of bracelet with the same method as before. Now, a beautiful and unique handmade lampwork beads jewelry set is finished.
