Instructions

This necklace measures approximately 24 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively. You will also need a scrap of wire or a toothpick for this project.
  1. Begin by using a toothpick and adding a dab of glue to the well of the fancy stone setting. Add the Austrian Crystal Cushion stone. Set aside to dry.
  2. Cut the Moroccan chain into two equal lengths of 12 inches each.
  3. Open one 6mm 18g jump ring and attach one length of the Moroccan chain to the open hoop. Repeat with the second length. To one end of this chain, attach one lobster clasp with another jump ring. Move to the end of the other chain and attach one jump ring. This completes the top of the necklace.
  4. For the bottom portion, begin by taking one eye pin and stringing on one bicone. Make a simple wire loop. Repeat 10 times.
  5. Open the loop of one eye pin with a bicone on it, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to another eye pin with a bicone. Close the loop. Open the loop at the other end and attach one small star charm. Repeat this process to make one more length with two bicones, then make one with three and one with four. Set these aside.
  6. Cut three lengths of rolo chain: 1.25", 1.5", 2".
  7. Using 6mm 21g jump rings, attach the pearl white triangle to the 1.25" length of chain; the anchor to the 1.5" length; the crystal setting to the 2" length.
  8. Finally attach all the dangles to the hoop using 6mm 21g jump rings in the following order: 2 bicone/star charm; triangle with chain; 4 bicone/star charm; crystal with chain; 3 bicone/star charm; anchor with chain; 2 bicone/star charm.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before wearing to allow the glue to fully set.
