These instructions will make an 18 inch necklace. For a longer or shorter necklace, choose your desired chain. Note: for a longer necklace, you may need to buy more chain.
- Begin by watching the video: How to Make a Connector Focal Necklace with Gita Settings.
- Using what you have learned in the video, set your Austrian Crystal ss39 crystal AB chaton into the centermost prong setting of your cross pendant and use a craft stick to gently press the prongs down onto the chaton as shown in the video.
- Repeat the same process described in step 2 to set five dark red ss39 chatons into the remaining prong settings of your cross pendant.
- To Hang your pendant: Use flush cutters to cut 17.5 inches of chain. Slide one end of the chain through the top loop of your pendant.
- Use pliers to open a jump ring and slide on the end link of one side of your chain. Also slide on the loop of your clasp. Close the jump ring.
- Open another jump ring and slide on the end link on the other side of your chain. Close the jump ring. Enjoy!
