Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Make a bead link with 20 of the porcelain beads. Begin & end the link with a silver spacer. With a jump ring, attach a charm to the center of the link. Attach two more charms towards the ends of the link. |
|
Step 2: Attach jump rings to the ends of the bead link. Attach an 8" piece of the bead chain to the jump rings. |
|
Step 3: Make four bead links with the crystal rondelles- with two of the links containing 7 beads, and the other two links with 4 beads. Attach two 5.5" pieces of silver chain to each end of the porcelain link. Using jump rings, attach the bead links (evenly spaced) to the chain. |
|
Step 4: Make a bead link with 4 Larimar chips, separated by a crystal. To the bottom, attach the shell charm with a jump ring. To the top of link, attach the center of a 13" piece of silver chain. Attach the ends of both necklaces with a jump ring, and finish with a lobster clasp. |
