Ava's Big Day Bridal Set Tutorial

Created by: Valorie Nygaard-Pouzar

Designer Tips

Determine placement of the stamped letters on metal charm, or paper.
Carefully stamp the blank.
Antique the charm so the impressions are more pronounced.
Gently sand and polish.
Attach to jump ring & chain.
Make a pearl dangle, and slide onto the chain.
For earrings, make two pearl dangles like the one for the necklace and attach to ear wires.
Pendants for the bride and bridesmaids are elegant jewelry, as well as keepsakes that will last forever.
For the bridesmaids jewelry, see Ava's Ladies in Waiting Bridesmaid Necklaces.
