Materials:

MATERIAL LIST:
2.5 m of 0.3 mm silver plated wire
24 cm of 0.8 mm silver plated wire
8 turquoise spheres (4 mm each)
4 metallic beads (2 mm each)
TOOL LIST:
round nose pliers
flat nose pliers

ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS:
you can replace the 4th mm spheres with any other spheres/crystals at hand, in my opinion, not bigger than 4 mm
metallic beads can be replaced with seed beads, colors at your choice, of course
silver plated wire can be replaced with any other wire you want or have at hand
