This necklace measures 21 inches long. For a necklace that is longer or shorter, simply adjust the chain length.
- Using your flush cutters cut two lengths of gold filled chain. Make sure to not have any broken links on either end.
- Next, open a 3mm gold plated jump ring using your chain nose pliers and slide it onto the last link from one end of one length of gold filled chain. Close the jump ring.
- Next, take 1 gold filled headpin and snip off the head portion using your flush cutters. Create a simple wire loop onto one end, using your round nose pliers. Slide on 11 Czech glass pearls and create a second simple loop. Snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters. See photo.
- Open one of the simple loops (how you would a jump ring) and slide on the last link from the other side of that first chain length with your clasp attached.
- Open up the second simple loop and slide on the last link from one side of your second length of chain. Close it back up.
- Using your chain nose pliers, open a 3mm gold plated jump ring and slide it onto the last link from that second length of chain and close.
- That's it!
