Step 1

Cut two 1-3/8 inch and one 1-1/8 inch lengths of gold-filled 1.25mm round cable chain.

Step 2

String a 1-1/8 inch length of chain through the center of a Swarovski 18x17mm Miss U Heart drop. Open a gold-filled 2.8mm round jumpring and pass it through the first link of the 1-1/8 inch length of chain, the loop on a vermeil earwire and the last link of the 1-1/8 inch length of chain. Close the jumpring.

Step 3

String a 1-3/8 inch length of chain through the center of the first Swarovski 18x17mm Miss U Heart drop and the center of a second Swarovski 18x17mm Miss U Heart drop. Open a gold-filled 2.8mm round jumpring and pass it through the first link of the 1-3/8 inch length of chain and the last link of the 1-3/8 inch length of chain. Close the jumpring. This connects the first and second 18x17mm Swarovski Miss U Heart drops.
