This necklace measures approximately 17 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively.
- Cut 2 lengths of chain 6.5 inches long. Set aside.
- Cut 2 lengths of chain 1 inch long. Set aside.
- Take one eye pin and string on one pearl. Make a simple wire loop. Trim any excess wire. Set aside. Repeat this step twice more.
- Take one eye pin with a pearl on it, open the loop, same as you would a jump ring, then attach it the the end link of one 6.5 length of chain. Close the loop.
- In the same manner as above, attach the other loop of the pearl you just added to one 1 inch length of chain. To the other side of this 1 inch length attach another pearl. To the other side of that pearl, attach the second 1 inch length of chain. Then attach one more pearl and then the other 6.5 inch length.
- To one end of the necklace, open a jump ring and attach it to the final link in the chain.
- To the other end of the necklace, open a jump ring and attach it to the final link in the chain and to one lobster clasp.
