Step 2

Use the 24 gauge wire to make bead links with the rainbow freshwater pearls, midnight blue freshwater pearls, and the Czech glass aquamarine English cut beads. Continue making links until you've reached your desired length. Attach the links directly to a peacock freshwater pearl link, or use jump rings to attach the links.
