Use flush or side cutters to cut the loop off of a 20mm silver-plated brass end tube. Use 5-minute two-part epoxy to attach the end tube to the back of the cloud pendant and allow to dry.

Cut 13 lengths of 1.5mm silver-plated brass diamond cut ball chain for the rain coming down from the cloud. Our longest piece of chain is 1 3/4 inches. Slide the ends of the chain pieces into the end tube and fold the tube down over the chain pieces to secure them in place. Trim the ends of the chain to varying lengths for a more rainy look.

Add a 925/10 silver-filled 6mm 20 gauge open jump ring to each opening on the cloud pendant and close them.

Cut a length of ball chain approximately 33 inches long. Slide the cloud pendant on using the jump rings. Clasp the ends of the chain together using a silver-plated brass ball chain connector.
