This necklace measures 17.5 inches total. You can adjust the size by cutting the gold side chains to desired lengths accordingly.
- Cut the gold chain into two 6 inch lengths, and one 4.25 inch length. Set aside.
- Cut one 4.5 inch length of black chain. Set aside.
- Cut 10 inches of flex wire, place a bead stopper 2 inches from the end, and string on three 6mm beads.
- String through one end link of the 4.25 inch length of gold chain.
- Next, string on in this order: one 6mm bead, one 10mm bead, and repeat twelve more times, then end with one more 6mm bead.
- String through the other end link of the 4.25 inch length of gold chain, so that it drapes above the beads you just strung.
- String on three more 6mm beads, then string through one end link of the 4.5 inch length of black chain.
- String on a crimping bead and thread protector, then thread the wire back through your crimping bead and a couple of the beads next to it. Pull snug and crimp the crimping bead. Cut off excess flex wire.
- Add a crimp cover Close the crimp cover.
- Remove the bead stopper from the other end of the flex wire, and repeat the above process to close off the other side using a crimping bead, thread protector, and crimp cover.
- Now take one of the 6 inch lengths of gold chain, open one end link as you would a jump ring, and close it over the loop of one of the thread protectors.
- Repeat above step to attach the other 6 inch length of gold chain to the other thread protector.
- Open the opposite end link of one 6 inch length of gold chain, and close it over the loop at the back of the clasp.
- Repeat the above step to attach a 6 mm jump ring on the end of the other 6 inch length of gold chain.
