How to Use Your Polished Stones in Jewelry

Polished stones can be used to create attractive, natural-looking jewelry.

Steps:

1. For earrings and a necklace set, use stones that are as similar as feasible.

2. Decide whether you want to wear post or wire earrings.

3. Use a clear-drying glue or epoxy to attach the stone to an earring post.

4. Glue a bell cap to the top of your stone, then thread a wire earring through it.

5. To make your earrings hang further down onto your shoulder, add beads to them.

6. Cut a length of chain into a necklace or buy a ready-made necklace.

7. If you’re making a necklace from scratch, attach a clasp to the chain’s ends.

8. To secure the stone to the chain, use a bell cap or cage affixed to it.

9. Use clear-drying glue or epoxy to adhere a stone to a tie clasp, stick pin, key ring, or ring.

Tips:

A Y necklace can be made with linking beads.

Instead of a chain, opt for a beaded necklace.

Chains, clasps, bell caps, and beads come in a variety of styles, so mix & match to create your own unique look.
