Natural stones are incredibly popular today. And jewelry design has ceased to be the lot of professionals. Our master class will tell you how to turn a scattering of beads into something elegant and feminine.

Real stones have a certain energy. Particularly thin feel the stone appeal of a woman.
In the trends of 2013, a bracelet is required, so having at least a couple is highly desirable. And if you create a bracelet yourself, the thing will turn out exclusive and energetically filled. Gems and all necessary materials can be purchased in specialized stores.

Making a pendant, earrings and bracelet, as in the picture, will help Anna Maksakovskaya - designer of jewelry made from natural stones.

You will need: • 21 beads (I have agate) • 4 pendants (starfish) • 20 cm of elastic thread with a diameter of 0.8 mm • jewelry cord with a clasp (around the neck) • bail (fasteners for hanging on a bracelet) • earrings (hooks for earrings) • 6 connecting rings • 3 pins (metal carnations) • different metal beads for decoration • jewelry tools (ordinary pliers with bent ends, round pliers, side cutters).
