Retired - Chained Ellipse Earrings

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by watching the video on How to do a Byzantine Chain Maille Weave.
2. Begin your chain maille weave by opening a silver filled 8mm jump ring and linking it through the hole at the top of your Austrian crystal ellipse pendant. Close the jump ring. Repeat this with another jump ring.
3. Let the two jump rings from above be the first two jump rings in your byzantine weave. Following what you learned in the video, add another 8 sets of two jump rings (refer to the verbiage in the video for what this means).
4. On the last set of two jump rings attach your sterling silver earring hook.
5. Enjoy!
