Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Cut four pieces of half-hard, 20 gauge sterling silver wire approximately 3 inches long. Using a steel bench block and 4oz ball pein hammer, flatten one end of each wire to keep the beads from falling off.

Thread a different colored 4mm faceted round onto each wire so the bead rests above the flattened end.

Create a wrapped loop opposite of the flattened end of each wire.

Attach two of the wrapped loop ends to one 0.75x4.6mm sterling silver open jump ring. Next, attach one JBB sterling silver leaf pendant and then the remaining two wrapped loop wire ends. Connect this jump ring to one 0.75x3.55mm sterling silver open jump ring, and then thread this jump ring onto one plain interchangeable leverback.
