Gold crescent moon necklaces are the ideal way to showcase your inner strength. Since ancient times, they’ve been seen as symbols of fertility, time, eternity, enlightenment and even love and luck in business. Wear one as part of your outfit to show it off!

Women looking to add some shimmer and glamour to their looks often pair this piece of jewellery with matching earrings for a complete look.

Resin drops from gold-plated hypoallergenic earring hooks for an eye-catching effect, perfect for special events to elongate your face and give any look an added glitzy flair. Wear these to emphasize how beautiful you are on special occasions!

Epoxy takes at least 24 hours to cure properly, so make sure that the resin remains on its plastic sheet overnight to witness its stunning transparent result. After taking this step, remove it and trim any uneven corners with scissors before removing from its home base.

Metal Chain & Yarn Bracelet

If you’re searching for an eye-catching bracelet to wear, these simple patterns will surely meet the mark. When making these pieces, ensure to use double-strand elastic for extra strength, as well as beads with larger holes than average. Likewise, consider using a surgeon’s knot instead of an overhand knot; just add a dab of jewelry glue at its end before tucking into one bead to secure it further.

This macrame bracelet elevates traditional hemp and wooden beads by using colorful nylon cord and glossy metal charms. Round jewelry pliers will be necessary, but otherwise all other ingredients can easily be found!

Elongated Spike Drop Earrings

These sleek and modern spike drop earrings will make any outfit chic and on trend. Boasting long linear silhouettes topped by spiked accents secured with hinged backs.

To create these earrings, first lay out your bead design on a headpin. Aim for having two thirds of its length covered by beads; if necessary, swap out beads until your design works well.

Once the wire has been bent into a flat loop, add rondelle beads (or other small round spacers) and wrap them around the wire loop.

Bead Bracelet

When working with elastic cord, use tape on one end to prevent it from snapping off as you string beads onto it. This will also protect it from being pulled too tightly through beads and making them slip off the cord.

Select thicker stretch cord such as Stretch Magic Cord or Opelon to ensure the durability of your bracelets, or doubled elastic if your beads have large enough bead holes.

Once your bracelet reaches the length you desire, thread its wire through a seed bead and crimp bead, using your pliers to close off both components, adding a knot cover over each.
