Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by taking the front side of your brass stamping and add a dab of E6000 glue to the center. Press your pearl cabochon (flat side down) on top and wait a few minutes for it to dry.
2. Next cut 3" of cup chain. Before you glue it down, you can measure it by wrapping it along the edges of your pearl cabochon, and snip off any excess with your flush cutters.
3. Now take your cup chain (pearl side up) and add a small amount of glue to the bottom using a piece of scrap wire and carefully line it around your cabochon. Press down gently and wait a few minutes to dry.
4. Open up two jump rings and slide them onto the two top center loops of the decorative filigree on your stamping. Close your jump rings. Open up two more jump rings and do the same to the bottom two center loops of your stamping. Refer to the photos for assistance.
5. Next cut 18 inches of chain using your flush cutters. Be sure to cut off any broken links at the end of the chain.
6. Slide your chain through the top two jump rings on your stamping.
7. Next, take your clasp set and open the simple wire loops on either side with your pliers. Take the last link of one side of your chain and link it onto one of the loops of your clasp set. Close the loop. Do the same thing with the other side.
8. For the last part, take the remaining 24" inches of chain and measure eight pieces that are approximately 3" each. Cut off any broken links.
9. Open your fifth jump ring and slide on your eight chain pieces via the last chain link on each. Slide this jump ring onto the two jump rings you have on the bottom of your stamping. Close the jump ring. Your tassel should now be dangling from your stamping.
10. Your necklace is now ready.
