DIY Jewellery with circle shapes

Elegant and simple jewelry made of different ring shapes with rustic surfaces is one of the big current jewelry trends. at Smyks, these jewelry parts are now available in round, oblong and teardrop shapes and are found in silver coated, antique gold and black gunmetal. In the following examples we show you how to use the pendants to create earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Earrings with teardrop-shaped rings.

For these earrings you’ll need the following materials:

1 pair of earwires in gilded sterling silver
2pcs. 28mm antique gilded teardrop shaped rings
2pcs. 35mm antique gilded teardrop shaped rings

These earrings are easy to make as you just put both rings through the earwire and then carefully bend the pegs on the back of the earwires upwards so the rings can’t fall off.

Necklace with rings and crystal encrusted clip clasp.

For this necklace you’ll need the following materials:

1pc. 25mm antiqued gilded ring
1pc. 40mm antiqued gilded ring
1pc. clip clasp with eye and crystals
80cm faceted gunmetal ball chain

There’s no need for tools to make this necklace. Just attach the two rings to the clasp, close it and then feed the ball chain through the eye of the clip clasp. When you buy a piece of ball chain, a connector bead is included.

Necklace with oval gunmetal ring.

For this necklace you’ll need the following materials:

1pc. oval gunmetal ring
1pc. gilded clip clasp with eye and crystals

This necklace is just as easy to make, attach the ring to the clip clasp, close it and then feed the chain through the eye of the clasp.

Earrings with teardrop shaped gunmetal rings.

For these earrings you’ll need the following materials:

Just hang the ring on the earwire.

2pcs. 22mm long oval rings in antiqued gilded brass
5pcs. 6mm dark steel jumprings
2pcs. 6mm gilded jumprings

To make this bracelet, you just connect the oval rings with each other by using the jumprings. In the end you connect the lobster claw clasp with the last, also by using a jumpring. You can choose to put an extension chain in the other end of the bracelet, making it adjustable in length.

Necklace of round rings.

For this necklace you’ll need the following materials:

4pcs. 25mm round gunmetal rings

9pcs. 6mm dark steel jumprings (the last 2 jumprings are for closing the necklace)
1pc. 10mm lobster claw clasp

Use the same method to create this necklace as the one to make the bracelet above. You connect the rings with each other with the jumprings, the chain is attached to each end of the necklace with the last two jumprings, and lastly you add a lobster claw clasp. The finished measurements of this necklace is approx. 45 cm, this model is short, but you can choose exactly you length you’d like.

Enjoy creating your own jewelry. We hope that this has inspired you to keep playing around with these rustic round shapes.
