To begin this project please watch our video: How to Use Crystal Clay.
  1. Following what you learned in the video pinch off an almond size of part A and the same size of part B of Crystal Clay. Combine them together in your hands, as shown in the video. Once all marbling is gone, roll this into a ball. Roll the ball into more of an oval shape.
  2. Carefully, press the clay into the bezel setting. Smooth out the surface with your finger.
  3. Place the mint and rose Austrian crystal chatons into the crystal clay. You can follow along with my pattern by looking at the photo or you can place them where ever you would like.
  4. Allow the crystal clay to dry overnight.
  5. Cut 18 inches of chain. Thread it through the loop of the bezel pendant.
  6. To the left side of the chain, attach a jump ring by opening one jump ring and closing it around the last link in the chain.
  7. To the right side of the chain, attach a jump ring by opening one jump ring and placing one lobster clasp onto the jump ring. Close the jump ring.
  8. All done.
