Instructions:

1. Cut a piece of Soft Touch beading wire at twenty-two inches long. Secure one end with a Bead Stopper.


2. Combine the contents of both packets of fuchsia pink chalcedony briolettes. Separate them into seven groups of two beads of equal size. Pick the largest briolette to be the central bead. You should have one bead leftover.


3. Onto your wire, thread four inches of alternating 2.4mm yellow honey jade beads and 6mm round bright fuchsia candy jade beads, beginning and ending with the honey jade.


4. At the end of the four inches, thread the smallest chalcedony briolette., a 2.4mm yellow honey jade, an 8mm round bright fuchsia candy jade, and another 2.4mm yellow honey jade.


5. From here until you string the central, largest briolette, string alternating chalcedony briolettes and 8mm round bright fuchsia candy jades with a 2.4mm yellow honey jade between each. The chalcedony briolettes must be increasing in size as you move toward the center of the necklace.


6. From the largest briolette in the center onward, string the other half of the necklace as a mirror image of the first.


7. When you have the entire body of the necklace strung, add two crimp beads to the end, but do not crimp yet.


8. Thread the wire through the loop on one half of the magnetic clasp and back through the crimp beads. Crimp the beads.


9. Remove the bead stopper from the other end of the necklace and repeat the last two steps.


10. Place a crimp bead cover over each of the crimp beads, and gently close them. Trim off excess wire.
