Instructions in 9 steps Hook the Shamballa pendant on your pendant out of jewellery cement and contemplate your new very special piece of jewellery. And this is how it works:

Step 1

To cast the jewellery-cement pendant you need an elastic casting mould, a digital scale and a small plastic container as well a craft wooden stick for stirring. The mixing ratio: 1 part of water : 5 parts of jewellery-cement.

Step 2

First, weigh the water in a cup and then add gradually the jewellery-ce-ment. Stir it with a craft wooden stick until a homogeneous mass arises.

Step 3

Now, you can fill the mould with the casting compound. The mould should always be cleaned with detergent and water before being filled. If bubbles occur, you should tap few times the mould on the pad.

Step 4

The temperature and the current air humidity determine the drying time. It is however advisable to demould the pendant only the next day. Allow post drying.

Step 5

The upper side, in other words the subsequent reverse side, you can rectify with some fine sandpaper.

Step 6

In order to decorate the jewellery-cement pendant, glue two adhesive tapes as straight lines on it.

Step 7

Spread on uniformly the application milk with a brush. Let it dry for about 5 minutes. Lay on crease-free the flake or sheet-shaped decorative metal with the surface covered by the application milk. Press slightly the decorative metal with a finger. Now you can remove the overhanging flakes with a clean flat brush by spreading them horizontally over the decorative metal surface.

Step 8

For sealing, spread accurately the Deco Metal Protective Varnish with a fine clean brush onto the metallic surface. Let it dry well.

Step 9

Open 8 mm wide the ringlet by using two flat pliers. Hold firmly the ringlet with one pair of pliers while the gap of the ringlet is facing up, now open the ringlet backwards by using the second pair of pliers. Hang in the jewellery-cement pendant, the Shamballa bead and the element chain. Close the ringlet by using the both pliers.
