Instructions
- Using the Wire cutters, cut four-3 link pieces of chain, two-5 link pieces, one-7 link piece, and four-12 link pieces of the curb chain.
- To begin assembling the dangles for the Pendant Link center piece, use one of the large jump rings as a bail, connecting the 7- link piece of chain to the 18mm heart. Attach the dangle using a smaller 5mm jump ring to connect to the center loop of the pendant link.
- Using the small jump rings, connect the other six smaller pieces of chain, to the 10mm hearts (5-link and two 3-link; Lt. Siam) and (two 3-link Siam). In a graduated design, attach the other four heart/chain dangles to the pendant link with the small jump rings. (set aside the other two heart/chain dangles)
- Connect remaining pieces of chain to each piece of the toggle closure (2 on each side) using split rings; pull the other (loose) ends of the chain together. This is what you will connect the rest of the necklace too.
- Cut two 20in pieces of stringing wire, with one piece go through a 6mm split ring, fold in half, slide a crimp bead over both ends and crimp snuggly near the split ring. Repeat on opposite side.
- String twenty two Lt. Siam 4mm crystals and one of the rose two-holed sliders (second hole below-rose facing you), then string another sixteen of the Lt. Siam 4mm crystals, and a crimp bead. Run beading wire through one of the loops at the top of the pendant link, double back through the crimp until snug and crimp to secure. Conceal your mechanics using a crimp cover.
- Repeat Step 6.) On opposite side.
- Begin the second strand by stringing fourteen 6mm Crystals, then run the beading wire through the open hole of the slider, and continue stringing five more 6mm crystals, then one of the LT. Siam dangles and five more 6mm crystals. Connect and crimp below the first string on the pendant link. Hide mechanics with crimp cover.
- Repeat Step 8.) To complete project.
