  1. Begin by watching our video on how to add a charm to a bail using a headpin. Attach your pinch bail and charm to the focal gemstone as shown in the video.
  2. Cut an 18 inch length of braided faux leather cord. Thread the cord through the pinch bail at the top of the gemstone.
  3. Place a drop of E6000 on one of the tips of the cord and fit one silver cord end into place. Repeat for the other end of the cord. Wait a few minutes for the glue to dry.
  4. Open a jump ring and slide on the loop of your toggle clasp. Attach it to the loop of one silver cord end.
  5. Open another jump ring and slide on the loop of your toggle bar. Attach it to the loop of the other silver end cap. Close your clasp, and enjoy your necklace!
