Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Make three bead links using three 11" pieces of 24 gauge silver wire. The first link will have 42 white topaz beads. The second link should have 16 amethyst rice beads, each separated by a silver drop bead. On the third link, slide on a 7mm silver faceted bead, 12 lava beads, 2 silver beads, 8 lava, 2 silver, 12 lava, and one more silver bead. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
|
Step 2: Using two 1.5" pieces of the 20 gauge wire, make two bead links. Slide on the lava bead link, a silver bead, the amethyst bead link, another silver bead, and the topaz link. Repeat on the other side. Attach a jump ring to each of the two bead links. On each jump ring, attach a 2.5" piece of chain- so you'll have four 2.5" pieces of chain. |
|
Step 3: Bring the two pieces of chain together & attach with a jump ring. Repeat on the other side. Using another jump ring, attach a 4" piece of chain to this piece. Repeat on the other side. Finish with a lobster clasp. |
