Cloud Sky
About this design:
I think the name explains it all - cloud sky. The Tibetan pearl beads with brass are the perfect compliment to this cobalt charm chain that almost floats as you wear it.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Take 10" of your Zola chain attaching the ends to the small etched cable chian. See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring |
|
Step 2: Add a touch of added embellishment to your chain with a little pearl wire wrapped charm. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
|
Step 3: Once you cut your chain for your necklace you will have a few charms that are no longer attached. Use those charms to drop off of your focal. Attach using a small jump ring. |
|
Step 4: Continue adding drops to your focal. When you have completed your focal, attach to the Zola charm chain using a decorative jump ring. See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
