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. You will want to begin this project by pearl knotting and finishing your tassel. To do this, please watch the video: How to Finish Zola Elements Tassels for Jewelry.
2. If you need further instructions on pearl knotting and adding the clamshell knot cover, please see the video: Pearl Knotting using Tweezers.
3. Take your Zola Elements chain and cut your 1 foot in half so you have two equal lengths, 6 inches long each. Next expose an end chain link on either side of each cut length by removing one bar on each side. Here is a video to show the process if needed.
4. Cut your Moroccan chain so it is 20 inches long.
5. Time to assemble your necklace! Open a jump ring and link it to the loop on the end of the clamshell knot cover as well as a link on your Zola Elements chain. Close the jump ring. On the other side of the Zola Elements chain attach another jump ring and also link it to one end of your Moroccan chain. Close the jump ring. Repeat this process on the other side of your necklace.
6. All done!
