Instructions:

Please watch our instructional video to learn how to make the focal Swarovski beaded bead before proceeding.

Use your flush cutters to cut sixteen to eighteen inches of the gold filled chain.

Thread your chain through the center of the Swarovski beaded bead.

Add a gold filled split ring to each end of the chain.

To one of the split rings, add the gold filled spring ring clasp.

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.
