1. Begin by wire wrapping three drop pendants. Follow along with this video to create these components: How to Wire Wrap a Preciosa Crystal Drop Pendant. In this video you will use the 28 gauge wire to wrap each of the pendants.
2. Then, please watch our video: How to Make Your Own Gemstone Chain with Wrapped Wire Loops. From what you learned in the video, use the 24 gauge wire and the round crystals to make two strands 18 crystals long.
3. Next open one jump ring and attach all three loops of the drop pendants and to one end of each of the strands of crystal chain you just created.
4. Finally, open another jump ring and attach it to the other end of the chain and to one end of the clasp. Repeat on the other side.
