Materials:
Assortment of crystals and beads (as many as you desire)
6mm Blossom Bead Cap
64x21mm Diamond Trellis Filigree
2″ Head Pin (depending on the number of beads used)
4.75mm Jump Ring

Tools & Supplies:
Round nose plier
Chain Nose Plier
Side Cutter
Ring Mandrel

Other materials:
Freshwater pearls & Swarovski crystals (or the beads of your choice)

Instructions:

Step 1: Create your dangles.
A: String one 6mm round crystal onto a 2″ head pin.
B: String all of the remaining crystals and pearls onto individual head pins and form a wrapped loops.
C: Open the 4.75mm jump ring to string all of your crystals and pearls in your desired order. Close the ring to secure.
* Alternatively, you can string them onto wire and weave and wrap beads through the filigree. This skill is demonstrated in our Beaded Hoop Earrings Class.

Step 2: Create your ring base.
A: Use a ring mandrel to form the diamond trellis filigree to desired ring size by holding the center of the filigree to the mandrel and form the edges around using your fingers or chain nose pliers. Adjust the size by tightening or pulling open the back of the filigree.

Step 3: Assemble your ring.
A: Using chain nose pliers, pull each petal of the bead cap upward to create a flat daisy-like piece. Repeat for second bead cap.
B: String the 6mm round crystal on the 2″ head pin through the center of the jump ring that contains the dangles and then through the flattened bead cap.
C: While firmly holding all pieces together, thread the end of the 2″ head pin through an opening in the back of the filigree ring base.
D: String the second flattened bead cap through the head pin from the back of the filigree ring base.
E: Using round nose pliers, curl the tail of the head pin upward towards the top of the rin and wrap the excess wire around the filigree to secure.
