Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Fold a 3-foot length of the gunmetal-plated small oval link chain in half. Fold a 3-foot length of the gunmetal-plated twisted curb chain in half and layer the two folded lengths together. Add one half of the gunmetal-plated swiggle line toggle clasp to one end of these folded chains using a 6mm gunmetal-plated 18 gauge open jump ring. Do the same on the other end of the folded chains.

Add a 30mm Jet navette pendant to the center of your necklace using an 8mm gunmetal-plated 18 gauge open jump ring. Make sure that the twisted curb chain goes through the jump ring and that the jump ring goes through the center links of the two oval link chain strands.

String a 4.5mm simplicity bead in Jet onto a 1.5-inch gunmetal-plated 23 gauge head pin and create a simple loop at the top of the bead. Repeat this process for the remaining simplicity bead and the 4mm, 6mm and 8mm briolette beads in Crystal Golden Shadow, The 6mm Bicones in Crystal Silver Night and the 4mm bicones in Crystal Golden Shadow.

Add the dangles you created in the previous step in a cluster around the navette pendant. You can add these dangles to the chain strands and even onto the jump ring holding the pendant in place. Then, use a 6mm jump ring to add the 8mm mini pear pendant in Crystal Golden Shadow to the cluster.
