Instructions:

1. Use your flush cutters to cut three pieces of 20 gauge Vintaj wire; one at three inches long, and two at one and a half inches long.


2. Using your chain nose pliers, create a ninety degree bend in the center of the three inch long piece of wire, creating a soft "V" shape.


3. Using close to the widest point of your round nose pliers, curl each end of the "V" down until it meets back up with the wire. (Tip: make a small mark on your round nose pliers with a fine point marker, so that you have consistent sized loops!)


4. On each of the shorter lengths of wire, use your round nose pliers to curl one end one way, and the other end the opposite way, creating two closed "S" shapes.


5. Place each piece of wire on a bench block, (XTL-0264) and hammer them flat using a one pound hammer. (XTL-0248) Close the loops back up if they have separated during the hammering.


6. Cut six pieces of 24 gauge Vintaj wire at approximately five inches long each. Use these segments to tightly and neatly wire wrap the two smaller "S" shapes onto the larger "V" shape at six different points, as shown in the photographs. Trim off any excess wire when you are done.


7. Cut another piece of the 24 gauge wire at one and a half feet long. Use this piece to wire wrap your amethyst blend Swarovski pendant. Before closing your loop at the top of the wire wrapping, slide your loop onto your wire wrapped centerpiece.


8. Cut two pieces of your Vintaj chain at six inches long each.


9. Open four 5mm Vintaj jump rings.


10. Use two of the jump rings to attach one end of each piece of chain to each of the widest-point loops on the wire centerpiece. Close those two jump rings again.


11. Use the remaining two jump rings to attach the clasp to either end of the chain. Close the jump rings again.
