  1. Begin by mixing your resin. Mix equal parts of A and B. If you have not worked with resin before you may find this video helpful: How to Use Nunn Design Resin.
  2. Then watch our video: Tips for Working with Resin and Open Back Bezels. In this video you will see how to prep your open back bezels and how to add pigment to the resin for this design.
  3. Once you have your two open back pieces for this design, set them aside to cure for at least 24 hours.
  4. Once fully cured, then carefully peel the tape off of the back.
  5. Cut your chain into two lengths. One 14 inches, and one 20 inches.
  6. Open one jump ring and attach it to the small pendant and to the length of 14 inches chain. Move to the other side of this chain and attach one jump ring and the lobster clasp.
  7. Onto the other length of the chain, attach one jump ring to the end and close the jump ring. Move to the other end of this chain and slide it through the open end of the smaller pendant and then attach another jump ring to the end and attach the larger pendant.
