Instructions

This necklace measures approximately 18 inches. To modify the length, simply adjust the length of chain on both sides respectively.

Begin by opening one 8mm jump ring and attaching it to the pear pendant and to the bottom center of the open lotus flower. Close the jump ring.
Cut the gemstone chain into two equal lengths keeping all ending loops in tact.
Open one 4mm jump ring and attach it to one end of the gemstone chain and to one petal at the top of the lotus. Repeat on the other side of the lotus with the second length of gemstone chain. (Please see photo for assistance with placement.) The jump rings at the top are meant to be snug to avoid shifting as you wear it.
Move to the end of the gemstone chain and use another 4mm jump ring to attach one lobster clasp. On the opposite chain, attach one jump ring to the final loop to complete the clasp.
