Pattern Description:

In this tutorial I will teach you how to create a summer set, as copper wire, in my opinion suits summer rather than winter. Colors that I used are red and light brown, but you may use any color of spheres you want, at your choice. Of course, the wire itself can be replaced with silver plated or any other wire you have.
This set is composed of three similar pieces, two pieces for the earrings and one for the pendant. In the next 16 pictures spread along 9 steps I will show you how to create just one piece.

Materials:

MATERIAL LIST: 105 cm of 1.5cm copper wire; 60 cm of 0.8 mm copper wire; 6 m of 0.4 mm copper wire; 3 faceted goldstone spheres; 3 glass pearls/beads; ear wires; a copper jump ring for the pendant or create one by yourself
TOOL LIST: round nose pliers for loops and curls; wire scissors; flat nose pliers; wire cutter
ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS: One may replace spheres and pearls with any other spheres and colors at hand. The copper wire may be replaced with silver plated wire, sterling silver wire or any other wire at hand.
