Black Spinel Briolette Necklace

Black Spinel Briolette Necklace

This beautiful spinel briolette bead makes such a great simple pendant. This project uses basic wire wrapping techniques for a simple yet effective design. 

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Start by wire wrapping the briolette bead - click here for step by step instructions with photos of how to wire wrap a briolette.

Use side cutters to cut your 0.3mm sterling silver wire to length - we recommend a length of wire approx 15-20cm for wire wrapping briolettes.

Thread the briolette bead onto the wire.

Place one crimp on the end of the wire and squeeze the centre tube part of the crimp with snipe nose pliers to secure in place.

Test the crimp to ensure it is secure and repeat on the other end of the wire with the other crimp.

Twist open the loop on the bolt ring with snipe nose pliers, and add the loop of one of the crimps on the of the necklace.

Close the loop and fasten the necklace.

Your design is now complete!
