Semi precious stone and pewter necklace and earrings

This is another Creative Beadcraft kit - number 19. (the fourth kit STILL hasn't come, grrr!)

There was a choice of colourways, I went for the second option - Amazonite. 

Here are all the components for making the necklace that were provided. 

I put a selection of the provided materials onto eye pins

I then laid them out on a bead board to choose the best placement

I decided where to place the pewter bits.  This bit was confusing as codes were given for the different pewter pieces in the instructions but no clue as to which code belonged to which bit! I even looked on the website but got no joy! 

The necklace was then assembled by creating loops at the end of the eye pins and using some jump rings for the pewter pieces

 I then added some chain to the top of the necklace using jump rings

There were also materials included to make matching earrings which can be seen here. However either the wrong components were included with the kit or some jump rings should have been included with the earring kit otherwise it was impossible to make! I used jump rings from the necklace kit but a beginner who didn't have extra jump rings would find this frustrating and confusing. 

I am happy with the jewellery though, I think it looks really good on and is very sparkly.  It also helped me very much with my pliers practice which was the aim of doing it. I used a pair of round nosed pliers, some needle nosed pliers and snips during making these pieces. So more of a challenge that the first project but annoying about the mystery component codes!!
