HOW TO MAKE
Earrings
  1. Thread four fuchsia and four hyacinth crystals bicones onto individual head pins. Attach each to a chandelier finding using round-nosed pliers to make wire wrapped loops
  2. Secure a tanzanite pendant to the centre of the chandelier findings with jump rings, using two pairs of pliers to open and secure. To complete, attach the finished drops to earring posts.
Bracelet
  1. Cut two and a half loops of memory wire and use roundnosed pliers to make a loop at one end. Snip off any excess using memory wire cutters. Thread on a sterling silver round followed by 12 bicones and a Bali dot rondelle.
  2. Repeat the crystal and rondelle sequence seven more times, then finish with a silver round. Trim as necessary and create another end loop with round-nosed pliers.
