This necklace measures 16.5 inches. To adjust the length, you will need to purchase additional length of gemstone chain.
- Begin by cutting the gemstone chain for the necklace. You will need a length of 16 inches. Be sure not to cut the last loop of the final gemstone on each side.
- Next open one jump ring and attach it to one end of the chain and to one lobster clasp. Close the jump ring. Onto the other side of the necklace, open another jump ring and attach it to the last loop. Close the jump ring.
- To complete the necklace, open one jump ring and attach it around the center of the gemstone chain and to the large shell pendant. Close the jump ring.
- For the earrings, cut 1.5 inches of the gemstone chain. If you want them to hang longer, you will need to purchase additional length of the chain. When you cut these lengths, keep the final loops in tact with one dangle attached.
- Open one jump ring and attach it to one starfish charm and to the bottom of the chain. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the second earring.
- Finally, open the loop of the earring hook, same as you would a jump ring and attach it to the top loop of the gemstone chain. Close the loop of the earring hook and repeat on the second earring.
Please note that the recommended length of gemstone chain is longer to accommodate the few links you will lose as you cut the chain. You can use the scrap gemstones for other projects.
