Handmade Silver Foil Glass Beads Strands

On the fashion jewelry market, we can easily find lampwork beads in all different colors, sizes and designs. Of course, there are many various types of lampwork jewelry pieces. Each piece is so attractive and unique, no matter it is a bead or a jewelry design. I have created two pair of earrings with lampwork beads last week. The first pair is very simple. I only used two round foil glass beads (old rose, about 12mm in diameter), four clear faceted round glass beads, several black faceted round, some jump rings, chains and earring hooks. String a clear glass bead, a foil glass bead and one more clear glass bead on an eyepin, and use round nose jewelry plier to make a loop at the top of clear glass bead. Use three jump rings to attach three strands of chains on the bottom ring of beaded pendant, and then use headpins to attach several black glass beads on these chains in different places. The last step is using a jump ring to attach the wholesale earring pendant on an earring hook. Repeat the same method to make the other one for a pair. This design is very simple and suitable for beginners.

The second earrings are created with flat round lampwork beads and small bicone glass beads in different colors. About the jewelry findings, I used gold jewelry wire and earring hooks. First, I strung a small gold round metal bead on gold jewelry wire, and use round nose jewelry plier to make a loop with the short end to stop the bead fall off. Second, I strung a flat round lampwork bead, a small gold metal bead and a bicone purple glass bead in AB color from the long wire, and make a loop at the top of glass bead. Third, I beat the jewelry wire and put the two strands of wires through the holes of small bicone glass beads, and twist one wire on the other wire. And then, use jewelry plier to make a loop at the top of twist wire. Repeat the third step for more several times. Please create these bead pendants in different length. Fourth, use jump rings to attach these bead pendants on the bottom ring of lampwork bead pendant. The last step is attaching the whole earring pendant on earring hook by using a jump ring. Create the other one with the same steps.
