Are you looking for a few new beading project ideas? If you’ve never ventured into the realm of Swarovski crystal beads, you’re missing out on some seriously swanky-looking yet surprisingly affordable designs. What new items might you add to your inventory or gift options this year?
Swarovski Pearl and Crystal Bracelets
These frosty tones of Swarovski pearls and shimmering clear crystals give these bracelets a cool, wintry appeal. To make this bracelet, you’ll need a strip of jewelry wire cut to a 10-inch length. Next, slide a crimp bead/smasher onto the end of the jewelry wire. Follow the crimp bead/smasher with a jump ring, attaching it to half of the clasp. Bring the wire back through the tube, then fix it into place with crimping wires, hiding it with a crimp cover. Use the following pattern for the design:
Your choice of Bali silver spacers- Your favorite shade of 8mm Swarovski curved pearls or round pearls
- Another Bali silver spacer
- One cream or white Swarovski curved or round pearl
- A Bali silver spacer and ring spacer
- One 10mm Swarovski round beads in Crystal AB
- A Bali silver spacer and ring spacer
- One cream or white Swarovski curved or round pearl
For a more wintry feel, choose cool blue or grey tones. When complete, slide a crimp bead/smasher onto the end of the jewelry wire. Follow the crimp bead/smasher with a jump ring, attaching it to half of the clasp. Bring the wire back through the tube, then fix it into place with crimping wires, hiding it with a crimp cover.
Swarovski Dangle Earrings
These simply designed yet stunning earrings feature Swarovski rondelles and balls and are sure to be a conversation starter this season. Graduating sizing and sparkling Swarovski crystals capture the eye.
Begin with a coiled gold-filled earwire.- Add one 12mm Silver Shade Swarovski Briolette, making a wrap looped at the bead’s top to create a briolette link.
- Slide your choice of 5-8mm Swarovski rhinestone ball onto an eye pin, making a simple loop at the top and attaching it to your briolette link. A similarly sized Swarovski crystal round pearl may also be used.
- Finish with a 2mm gold-filled round bead, attaching it to the briolette link.
- Repeat the steps for the second earring.
Change up bead colors or metals, using silver or rose gold for a fresh take on the design.
