Cut six lengths of antique brass-plated 1+1 infinity link chain approximately 1 1/2 inches long each. Cut four lengths of 3mm antique brass double link curb chain to the same length.

Attach a length of the infinity chain to the bottom of the patina embellishment using a 4.5mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump ring. Attach a length of double link curb chain right next to this chain using another jump ring.

On the next opening over on the patina embellishment, add a length of infinity chain using a jump ring. Add a double link curb chain and another infinity chain right next to it using one jump ring for both chains. Repeat this step and then step three for the next openings on the embellishment to complete the chain dangles.

Cut a length of brass oxide brass curb chain approximately 9 inches long. Attach one end to the top side of your embellishment using a TierraCast medium oval brass oxide pewter open jump ring. Attach half of the TierraCast brass oxide pewter craftsman toggle clasp set to the other end of the chain using another oval jump ring. Repeat this step for the other side of the necklace.
