This necklace measures approximately 18 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively.
  1. To begin, add a dab of E6000 to the well of the glue in setting and place the cushion fancy stone into the setting. Set aside and allow to dry.
  2. Cut two lengths of chain that are 6.5 inches long. Also cut one length that is 1.25 inches.
  3. Cut one length of wire, about 4 inches in length. Make a wrapped wire loop on one end. String on one bicone and make another wrapped wire loop, but this time before wrapping the loop, attach it to one end of the 6.5 inch length of chain. Wrap the wire, then trim the ends.
  4. Next, cut off another length of wire, 4 inches in length and make a wrapped wire loop but before closing it, attach it to the exposed loop from the previous step. String on a bicone and make another wrapped wire loop. Repeat this once more. On the next one attach the wire loops to the one you just added and to the length of chain 1.25 inches.
  5. Then you will repeat on the other side, so you will have the chain built. To one end of the 6.5 inch chain attach one jump ring. Close the jump ring. To the other end of the necklace, attach one jump ring and one lobster clasp. Close the jump ring.
  6. To add the focal at the bottom, you will make a length of the wrapped wire loops and bicones, as done before, but this time one loop will be attached to the cushion stone pendant, and the fifth loop will going around the 1.25 inches length of chain. You can attach the loop to the center link if you do not want it to be free floating on the chain.
  7. Allow the stone to dry fully for 24 hours before wearing, so that you don't lose your stone.
