- Begin by cutting a 20 inch length of 22k gold plated chain with your flush cutters.
- Next, open a 4mm gold plated jump ring using your chain nose pliers and slide it onto the last link on one side of your length of chain and close.
- Open up another 4mm jump ring and slide it onto the last link on the opposite side of your chain. Also slide on the loop from your gold plated lobster claw clasp and close.
- You will now begin adding your Czech glass O-beads onto your chain using jump rings.
- Open up a 5mm jump ring with your pliers and slide on 1 Crystal Superit O-bead, 1 Rosaline AB O-bead and 1 Crystal Capri O-bead. Since some of the O-beads are in mixes, each trio might slightly differ in color. Do not close your jump ring up quite yet.
- Your chain is made up of small and large links. Find the center 10� mark of your chain. Slide on your open jump ring onto the larger link at the center of your chain and close.
- Repeat the process of adding 3 O-beads onto each open jump ring, 10 more times.
- Now you will add each of your O-bead dangles onto the next 5 (larger) chain links on either side of the first one you added at the center. You should have a total of 11 O-bead dangles when you're done. See photo.
- Take one last jump ring, add 3 O-beads onto it and slide it onto the jump ring that is attached to your lobster claw clasp as an accent.
- You're done!
