Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

This necklace is designed with a shorter chain length so that the heart pendant hangs higher on the neck and to keep the heart from moving around too much. If you'd like a longer necklace, purchase additional chain and cut your pieces longer, but keep in mind that the heart may move around more.

Begin by cutting two 14" lengths from your piece of sterling silver 1.3 mm fine flat cable chain.
Thread one piece of chain through the hole in the 17 mm rosaline Austrian crystal Miss U Heart pendant, pulling it through until the ends are even. Make sure the chain isn't twisted, and join the two end links using one of the 2.5 mm jump rings. Repeat this process with the second piece of chain.
Attach the lobster clasp to the small jump ring connecting the chains on one side of the necklace and attach the 4 mm jump ring to the small jump ring on the other side of the necklace.
