This necklace measures approximately 36 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively.
- Begin by placing a dab of E6000 into the well of the bezel and place the cabochon in the bezel.
- Set aside and allow to dry.
- Cut the chain into two lengths: 9 inches and 27 inches. Set these aside.
- Take one eye pin and string on one pearl. Make a simple wire loop. Repeat 23 more times.
- To create a chain with the simple wire loops, simply open one loop, same as you would a jump ring, and link it onto another simple wire loop. Close the loop. Continue in this manner to link all 24 pearls together.
- To one end of this pearl chain, open one jump ring and attach it to one connector link. Close the jump ring. Open another jump ring and attach one end of the 9 inch length of silver chain to this connector link.
- Next thread both chains through the bail of the crystal bezel pendant. Next, repeat the above step to attach the chains to the second connector link.
- Finally open one more jump ring and attach it to one end of the 27 inch length of chain and to one connector link. Attach one jump ring to the other end of this chain and to the other connector link.
