Glue the 14mm flame flatback in Crystal AB into the TierraCast gold-plated pewter flame frame charm using two-party epoxy and allow to dry.

Cut a length of 20 gauge Vintage Bronze Artbeads Designer Wire approximately five inches long. Make a simple loop at one end of the wire. Add a Czech glass 3x5mm dark turquoise with copper patina roundel bead to the wire, followed by the Gustav Klimt's Expectation on black agate 41x30mm rectangle bead. Make a wrapped loop at the top of the beads.
