What You'll Need
|
Instructions:
- Cut two pieces of chain six inches long each. Set these aside.
-
Using the oval jump rings connect the wide sides of the ornate scroll connector links to make a chain. The single hole on each connector link should be pointing downward.
-
Connect one end of both pieces of the sterling silver chain to either end of the scroll connector link chain with oval jump rings.
-
To one side of the chain add the bar part of the toggle clasp with an oval jump ring. To the other side of the chain add the ring part of the toggle clasp with an oval jump ring. Set this aside.
-
Thread a bicone Swarovski crystal on to a head pin and create a simple loop. Trim off excess wire and save it. Make two of these.
-
Thread a 9x6mm Swarovski crystal drop on to a head pin and create a simple loop. Trim off excess wire. Make four of these.
-
Using one of the pieces of excess wire create a simple loop, thread a bicone Swarovski crystal on to it, and make another simple loop at the opposite end.
-
Add the crystals to the bottom points of the scroll connector links in this order: add a bicone to the last two connector links, add the bicone with two loops to the center connector link, to the remaining four connector links add the four 9x6mm drops.
-
To the very center of one of the ornate filigree diamond connector links glue a single Swarovski flat-back rhinestone crystal. Set this aside until the glue is dry. (The glue will set in ten minutes, full drying occurs in an hour.)
-
Utilizing the proper way to open and close a jump ring add the triangle bail to the 8 1/2x17mm Swarovski briolette.
-
Connect the briolette to one end of the ornate filigree diamond connector link using an oval jump ring.
-
Add the other end of the diamond connector link to the bottom loop of the central bicone Swarovski crystal.
