Jewellery School. Pendants
#v12280
Pendants and charms are not just pretty, but is also a simple way of adding special touch to your jewellery. It only requires a piece of wire or a head pin, a bead, two pliers and a little practice to make a beautiful pen-dant. The eye pin has a circular loop at one end, and can therefore be used as a joint. The ball headpin has a round head at one end so that the pendant finishes with a small bead. The headpin has a flat, circular head, which stops the bead.
