  1. Cut one 1.25", one 1.5", and one 1.75" length of sterling silver chain.
  2. Place a bicone bead onto a head pin and create a simple wire loop. Repeat with a second bead and head pin.
  3. Open the loops on your bicone bead dangles and hang one from the shortest chain piece and one from the longest chain piece. Close the loops.
  4. Open a jump ring and use it to hang a 17mm Rosaline crystal heart pendant from the 1.5" long chain piece; close the ring.
  5. Open another jump ring and place the free ends of the three chains onto it, arranging your dangles in the order you like. Place the loop on a leverback earring onto the jump ring; close the ring.
