Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Cut the TierraCast rhodium-plated brass 2x3mm cable chain into two 1-inch pieces, four ½-inch pieces, and four ¼-inch pieces and set aside.

Using one sterling silver 2-inch ball-end 24 gauge head pin, slide on one Swarovski 6mm XILION Bicone in Amethyst and make a simple loop. Repeat this step three more times for a total of four Amethyst bicone links and set aside.

Simple Loop Tutorial

Using one 925/10 silver-filled 5mm open jump ring, attach a ½-inch piece of chain to one Swarovski 18mm metallic cap pear-shaped pendant in Amethyst Light Chrome. Using one sterling silver 4.1x6.4mm 20 gauge oval open jump ring, attach the opposite side of the chain to the first hole in the TierraCast rhodium-plated pewter large 5-hole D ring.

Using one 8mm stainless steel 18 gauge open jump ring, attach a 1-inch piece of chain to one Swarovski 22mm metallic cap pear-shaped pendant in Amethyst Light Chrome. Using a 4mm oval jump ring, attach the opposite side of the chain to the third (center) hole in the D ring.

Attach one bicone link made in step 2 to a ¼-inch piece of chain. Using one 4mm oval jump ring, attach the opposite side of the chain to the fourth hole in the D ring.

Using one 5mm round jump ring, attach a ½-inch piece of chain to one 18mm pendant. Using one 4mm oval jump ring, attach the opposite side of the chain to the fifth hole in the D ring.

Using one TierraCast sterling silver 20 gauge long blank earwire, add a bicone and make a simple loop. Make sure the loop is big enough to attach to the top of the D ring. Then, add the loop to the top of the D ring.
