Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Attach the JBB silver-plated pewter two-leaf pinch bail to the 40mm Navette pendant in Jet. Simply open the bail with flat nose pliers, insert the pendant and close. Slide the pendant onto the gunmetal-plated 5+1 round and twisted rectangle link chain. Set aside.

Cut a 24-inch long piece of jewelry wire and attach a 5.5mm gunmetal-plated 21 gauge open jump ring to one end using a sterling 2x2mm crimp tube.

String the following beads onto the wire in a random fashion: 14mm round large hole pearls in Light Grey, 6mm round pearls in Cream and 7mm round pearls in Tahitian Look. Make sure to evenly space out the 14mm pearls along the strand. Attach a jump ring and crimp tube to the other end.

Attach a jump ring to each end of the 5+1 chain, the gunmetal-plated twisted double link chain and the gunmetal-plated textured oval link chain.

Connect one jump ring from the end of each chain and the pearl strand to the bar portion of the TierraCast 3/4-inch black finish pewter Anna's toggle and clasp. Twist all of the strands together, and then connect the open ends to the loop portion of the toggle.
