Fiery Fish & Pearl Necklace

Step 1

Attach a jump ring to the fish focal. Cut 16" of beading wire. Slide the beads and fish on in the order shown. 17 pearls, with 16 seed beads inbetween the pearls on either side of the fish focal.

Step 2

Cut two 4" pieces of chain. The image for this step is from another project, but it is the same process. Using the wire with strung pearls, slide on a crimp tube, then a wire protector, and bring the wire protector over the chain link. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube. If you can, feed some of the cord through a couple of beads. Use crimping pliers to crimp the tube. Trim any excess cord. Use pliers to cinch in the wire protector. Place the crimp cover over the crimp tube and close with pliers.

Step 3

Use the smaller jump rings to attach the toggle clasp.
