This jewelry is not complicated to make. Follow the instructions below... And above all, be patient during the gluing of the ribbon.

The assembly:

To start, position the ribbon on the pendant to determine the length of ribbon to keep. Place the ribbon starting at the edge of the pendant hole, follow the curve of the pendant, and stop at the edge of the hole. The ribbon will be placed to hide the stitches.

For the gluing step, be patient; if you try to rush, you risk getting glue everywhere and the ribbon won't have time to set.

I advise you to put a little glue on the edge of the mother-of-pearl pendant and then gently place the ribbon, making sure to follow the curve and that the stitching is hidden.

Press the ribbon firmly onto the pendant and maintain pressure until the glue starts to set. (about 1 to 2 minutes)

If necessary, add a little glue to the parts that may not have adhered.

Place the assembly flat with a heavy object on top (a book for example). Wait 10 minutes or the time it takes to do the second gluing.

Once the glue dries, it will solidify the assembly of the ribbon on the mother-of-pearl.
