We've used a wire wrapped aquamarine briolette to create a pretty design that really stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSTEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart by wire wrapping the briolette bead. Use \u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversmithing-and-tools\/all-silversmithing-tools\/item\/side-cutters-c123\"\u003eside cutters\u003c\/a\u003e to cut your wire to length - we recommend a length of wire approx 15-20cm for wire wrapping briolettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlip the briolette onto the wire around 3-4cm down. Ensure one side of the wire is longer than the other - pinch both ends of wire together at the top of the briolette to form a triangle shape, making sure the briolette is central.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHold both sides of the wire with round nose pliers and bend the longer length to a right angle. At this point, work half way up the plier nose to ensure you allow yourself enough room for a good wrap. If necessary, trim any access wire on the short side with side cutters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse round nose pliers to form a loop with the longer side of the wire by bending it to a right angle and wrapping it around the tip of the pliers. Hold the loop flat between the tips of snipe nose pliers and take the long end of wire and use your fingers to tightly wrap it around the stem of the wires - begin at the base and work downwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse snipe nose pliers to gently squeeze the coil together and continue to wrap upwards until you reach the top of the bead. Once you're happy with the wrap, use side cutters to trim excess wire and squeeze the end into the coil for a neat finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/jewellery-making-tips\/wire-wrapping-techniques-advice\/how-to-wire-wrap-a-briolette\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick here for step by step instructions with photos of how to wire wrap a briolette.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext, simply thread the loop of the wire wrapped briolette around the split ring (as you would on a key ring) until it is fully attached to the split ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the necklace and thread through the split ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour design is complete!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhy not view our selection of \u003ca href=\"\/products\/jewellery-presentation-packaging\"\u003epresentation boxes\u003c\/a\u003e to complete the look and make a beautiful gift?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THIS PROJECT\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversmithing-and-tools\/all-silversmithing-tools\/item\/side-cutters-c123\"\u003eSide cutters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversmithing-and-tools\/all-silversmithing-tools\/item\/snipe-nose-jewellers-pliers\"\u003eSnipe nose pliers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/silversmithing-and-tools\/pliers-wire-cutters\/item\/round-nose-jewellers-pliers\"\u003eRound nose pliers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCUSTOMISE YOUR KIT\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMake the design your own by using other gemstone beads and charms.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/gemstone-beads\/all-gemstone-beads\"\u003eShop gemstone beads\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/charms-charm-beads\/sterling-silver-charms\"\u003eShop charms\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/chains\/all-jewellery-chains-bangles\"\u003eShop necklets and chains\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/metal\/metal-wire\"\u003eShop wire\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHELPFUL PAGES\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/jewellery-making-tips\/wire-wrapping-techniques-advice\/how-to-wire-wrap-a-briolette\"\u003eHow to wire wrap a briolette bead\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/jewellery-making-tips\/wire-wrapping-techniques-advice\" style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003eRead our wire wrapping advice pages with tutorials\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/jewellery-making-tips\/wire-wrapping-techniques-advice\" style=\"background-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eJEWELLERY MAKING BOOKS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jewellery-making-books-dvds\/item\/the-new-encyclopedia-of-jewellery-making-techniques-c263\"\u003eThe New Encyclopedia Of Jewellery Making Techniques - Jinks McGrath\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jewellery-making-books-dvds\/item\/the-encyclopedia-of-wire-jewellery-techniques-sara-withers-c257\"\u003eThe Encyclopedia of Wire Jewellery Techniques By Sarah Withers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKernowcraft's jewellery making kits are aimed to inspire you - therefore the step by step instructions are available online only with a shopping list, where you can easily customise the design to suit you.
