This will be the centre connecting point for the cluster of pearls.

4. Thread a large pearl onto a head pin, with a filigree star cap on each side of the pearl. Leaving approximately 1 cm, trim excess wire and form a loop at the end of the pin with round nose pliers. Repeat to make 3 pieces.
5. Thread a crystal disc followed by a 6mm bi-cone onto a head pin. Leaving approximately 1 cm, trim excess wire and form a loop at the end of the pin with round nose pliers. Repeat to make 3 pieces.
6. Thread a 6mm bi-cone followed by 2 x 4mm glass pearls onto a head pin. Leaving approximately 1 cm, trim excess wire and form a loop at the end of the pin with round nose pliers. Repeat to make 2 pieces.
