Retired - Once Upon a Time Necklace

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.

1. Using the 5mm round part of your Wubber bail making pliers (XTL-0031) bend only the leaf part of the end of the large filigree (PND-5719) over on each end. Do not flatten the fold (Hint: you can easily adjust the size by bending open or closed with the pliers) Slide your large "Jet" crystal oval (SWC-9885) into the filigree piece until it is centered on the crystal. Press down on the leaf ends gently (not too hard, as the crystal can crack) to hold the crystal in place. Using your nylon chain nose pliers (XTL-6020) gently bend the leaves that are on the top and bottom of the filigree ever so slightly so the crystal doesn't move at all. You will be able to feel the crystal become more snug as you slightly bend the leaves. Set aside.
2. Now take your Wubber bail making pliers with the 5mm round part and bend in half one of the smaller filigree pieces (FCO-5016) around the pliers. Take the filigree piece and hook it through the smaller Onyx oval crystal (SWC-9872). Using your nylon pliers, pinch the top of the filigree until the two holes are almost touching. Loop the large open jump ring through the 2 small holes on the top of the filigree. Attach to the bottom of the large Onyx oval filigree piece you made earlier. Close the jump ring.
3. Cut two pieces of chain 8 inches in length. Attach 1 open oval jump ring (FJR-3957) to one end of the chain (CHA-9677) and to the large filigree Onyx oval between the small flower and the leaf on the top. Close jump ring. (see photo)
4. Repeat this step for other side. On the other end of the chain attach 1 smaller open oval jump ring (FJR-3964) Close the jump ring.
5. Now attach another small oval jump ring to the other piece of chain along with the lobster claw clasp (FCL-2507) Close the jump ring. You're done!
