Instructions:
Don't forget to double these instructions to make your matched pair of earrings.
- Begin by watching the video on How to do a Byzantine Chain Maille Weave.
-
Begin your chain maille weave by opening a silver filled 8mm jump ring and linking it through the hole at the top of your SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS ellipse pendant. Close the jump ring. Repeat this with another jump ring.
-
Let the two jump rings from above be the first two jump rings in your byzantine weave. Following what you learned in the video, add another 8 sets of two jump rings (refer to the verbiage in the video for what this means).
-
On the last set of two jump rings attach your sterling silver earring hook.
-
Enjoy!

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
