Instructions

This piece adjusts from a longer necklace to a choker, depending on your preference.
  1. Take your 2-foot length of silver box chain and feed both ends through the Austrian crystal crystal silicone-core slider bead, exiting the bead in the same direction.
  2. Take 1 silver cord end and place a few drops of Super New Glue into the cup. Fit one of the ends of the chain into the cord end. Repeat this step with the other end of the chain. Let the glue dry for 1 hour.
  3. Take 1 head pin and string 1 silver round bead. Using pliers, make a simple wire loop. Cut off the excess wire with flush cutters.
  4. Open the simple wire loop of the bead dangle from the previous step the same way you would open a jump ring. Slide it through the attached loop of one cord end on one end of the chain. Close the wire loop.
  5. Repeat steps 3-4 to attach a silver bead dangle on the other end of the chain.
  6. Slide the Austrian crystal crystal slider bead down to loosen your necklace to slip the chain over your head. Pull the slider bead up to tighten the necklace into a choker. Enjoy!
