Step 9:  Now using a head-pin, make a bead dangle and hang that dangle from the center of the chain.  You can hang 1, 3, or 5 beads from the chain.  (Our best instructions for how to make a bead dangle are in our online book "Wire Design Basics".) 

Step 10:  Connect the wishbone that you just made to an ear wire finding.

Alternative Designs: 

The jewelry design at right was made without the bend at the end of the legs of the wishbone.  This is a simplified design, but I don't believe that the chain hangs as straight in this design.

Another alternative jewelry design is shown here.  In this design, there is no chain, but beads are added to the legs of the wishbone before the end cap beads are glued in place.  In this design the 5mm end cap beads were used instead of the 3mm end cap beads used in the prior designs.  Alternative configuration using beads and jewelry supplies.

This WigJig jewelry project is provided as part of WigJig University - College of Jewelry Designs.  We try to provide interesting jewelry projects using beads, jewelry wire and other jewelry supplies.  We hope that these pictures will provide you enough information for you to complete this project.  Some of the skills and jewelry making techniques have not been discussed here.  For beginners, we suggest that you visit our Beginners Start Here pages. These pages discuss the skills necessary for making jewelry in the detail that beginners need. We also suggest that beginners to making jewelry might need to visit the WigJig University College of Jewelry Techniques for additional information about some of the skills and techniques shown. 

 Most, but not all of the jewelry supplies shown here can be purchased in our WigJig store.  We try to have a complete selection of jewelry supplies in our store including chain, wire, glass beads, findings, watches, tools, etc.
