These instructions will give you a necklace that is approximately 19".
- Begin with 24" of beading wire. Place a bead stopper 3" from one end. You will thread on the pearls and crystals in the following order:two 3mm bicones; two 4mm pearls; one 5mm bicone; one 6mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; one 8mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; one 6mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; two 4mm pearls.
- Repeat 3 more times.
- Thread on two 3mm bicones. Now you will thread on the BeCharmed rondelle, and thread the wire through the cabochette pendant and back up through the rondelle.
- Continue to thread in the same order: two 3mm bicones; two 4mm pearls; one 5mm bicone; one 6mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; one 8mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; one 6mm pearl; one 5mm bicone; two 4mm pearls.
- Repeat 3 more times.
- Thread on two 3mm bicones.
- String a crimp tube on the beading wire. Thread the wire though one end of the clasp and back down into the crimp tube. Pull tight. Crimp the crimp tube. Using your flush cutters, carefully snip off the excess wire. Take one crimp bead cover and crimp it over the crimp tube.
- Repeat this last process for the other side of the necklace. Simply remove the bead stopper and start with the instructions above.
