Theresa Necklace Tutorial

Cut two eight-inch lengths of silver-plated 1+1 infinity link chain. Set aside for now. Then, cut a ten-inch length of jewelry wire. Slide a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube onto the wire, followed by a sterling silver 4.60mm open jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube to form a small loop around the jump ring and crimp in place. Add a sterling silver 3mm crimp cover over the crimp tube.

Crimp Cover Tutorial

Add the following bead pattern to the wire:

• One Miyuki 11/0 round seed bead in Duracoat galvanized silver
• A 4mm Tanzanite faceted round bead, a 4mm Light Turquoise faceted round bead and another Tanzanite round
• One silver seed bead
• One 4mm Jet faceted round
• OneTierraCast antique silver 4mm twist heishi spacer, a silver seed bead and another spacer
• One Jet round

Repeat this pattern four times, then add a silver seed bead, a Tanzanite round, a Light Turquoise round, a Tanzanite round and another silver seed bead to the strand. Slide on a crimp tube, followed by a jump ring. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Then, add a crimp cover to the tube.

Attach one piece of chain to the jump ring on one end of the beaded strand. Repeat on the other end of the beaded strand with the other piece of chain. Set this strand aside for now.

String a Tanzanite round, a Light Turquoise round and another Tanzanite round onto a 1-inch 20 gauge sterling silver eye pin. Make a simple loop at the top of the last bead added. Repeat once more for two colorful links. String a Jet round, a spacer, a silver seed bead, another spacer and another Jet round onto an eye pin and make a simple loop. Repeat once more for two black and silver links. Set aside for now.

Cut a length of chain approximately six inches long. Attach a colorful link to one end by opening the simple loop, attaching it to the end link on the chain and closing the simple loop. Attach a one-inch length of chain to the open end of the link. Attach a black and silver link to the end of this chain. Attach a 1 1/4-inch length of chain to the end of this link. This is the center of the strand. Mirror the link and chain pattern on the other side of this piece of chain. Attach the TierraCast antique silver large fleur de lis charm to the center piece of chain using a jump ring.

Open a jump ring and add your long necklace strand, followed by the shorter necklace strand. Then, add one half of the TierraCast 3/8-inch antique silver-plated pewter Anna's toggle clasp set and close the jump ring. Repeat this step on the other side of the necklace.
