DIY Silver Jewellery for the Confirmation

Jewellery for the big day

We have here collected some inspiration for you so you can make your own jewellery for celebrations, such as a confirmation. This collection was made with sterling silver components, but of course you can make the items with gold-plated DIY jewellery components too.
Our collection is a mix of freshwater pearls and gemstone beads in pastel colours. Combined with chains, they create a delicate and feminine look.
We used some basic and simple techniques. Click here for the respective DIY guides: How to make a loop over a pearl or bead + How to open and close a jumpring correctly.

Note! for all the examples you will need basic jewelry pliers and jewellery glue.
