For this design, I used the ammonite coin & the Green Girl mermaid pendant to create an underwater-inspired necklace & bracelet. The apatite is the perfect shade of water blue & I love the way the orange pinch beads pop against the white pearls.
Using round nose pliers, make a bead link with a 2" piece of gold 20 game wire. Attach the mermaid focal to the bottom with a jump ring or loop the wire directly to it. Slide on a pinch bead, an ammonite coin, and another pinch bead. Make another Loop at the end & trim off any excess wire.
Make a loop at the end of a 10" piece of beading wire and secure with a crimp tube. Slide on the beads in the order shown in the picture. Attach a 5.5" piece of chain to each side of the necklace.
For the bracelet, Make a loop at the end of the beading with and secure with a crimp. Slide on the beads in the order shown in the picture.
