Dancing Chips Cluster Rings

Time: 1 hour
Cost: $ 16
Level: beginner
Tools: wire cutters, chain nose pliers, round nose pliers
Materials:  

  • 1 — adjustable beading ring
  • 12 — head pins
  • 3 — 4 mm jump rings
  • 6 — gemstone chip beads
  • 6 — 4 mm fresh water pearls

Here is an another great way to bead! Attach a mix of your favorite beads with head pins & jump rings. Beautiful gemstone chips are attached loosely, and they are dancing from the loops! I used an adjustable ring base: They’re made for finger sizes from size 6 to 8.


For these pieces, I used Amethyst, Aquamarine, Amber gemstone chips, and fresh water pearls. Lovely gold pearls compliment the earthy look of the gemstone chips.

Having trouble finding beading ring bases in your local area? Here are a few online bead stores that carry them:

I really liked your work. Am from Argentina and would like to know if the same ring can be made on a memory wire for rings. That is the only thin we can find here.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
