Assembly:

Watch the video tutorial at the bottom of the page!

To begin with, choose your pearls and play with different shades. You can opt for a harmony of similar colors, or play with contrasts. As for shapes, have fun: here we've used 6x8mm beads for the top of the waterfall and then we've added smaller and smaller beads for the bottom. This adds lightness to the assembly.

As for the quantity of beads, we've made sure that you only need to buy one strand of beads of each shape to make this model.

Mounting pearls (for an earring):

To begin, mount 7 faceted 8x6mm olive beads on eye studs. Be careful to form a loop large enough to be easily connected to the disc pendant. Your assembly should remain flexible!

Here we've made 7 cascading pearl chains, but you can adapt the number to suit your needs.

Now mount 7 faceted 6mm pearls on eye studs. Here, form loops of similar size, but fairly discreet.

Continue in the same way with the 5mm faceted olive beads.

Now mount the end beads on flat-headed nails.

For a beautiful gradient effect, we played with the number of beads. The result is a beautiful pointed fall.

To do this, assemble the 2 outer studs with, in order, a 2mm bead, a donut bead and a 2mm bead. Then form the loops.

For the 2nd studs, towards the center, place a 2mm bead, 2 donut beads and a 2mm bead. Then form the loops.

For the 3rd nails, towards the center, place a 2mm bead, 3 donut beads and a 2mm bead. Then form the curls.

For the central nail, place a 2mm bead, 4 donut beads and a 2mm bead. Then form the loop.

Cascade the beads...

Then connect all the nails together to create the waterfall.

Open the loops and connect the nails together.
