Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 3-link, one 2-link and four single-link lengths of 5mm glass chain.
Step 2
Use a 6mm jump ring to connect one 14mm classic pendant drop and one single link of chain. Add a 5.5mm jump ring to the opposite loop of the link.
Repeat to create a total of four short dangles and one dangle with the 2-link chain.
Step 3
Use a 5.5mm jump ring to connect the 3-link chain to the loop of a stocking charm. Add a second jump ring to the opposite loop of the chain.
Step 4
Cut a 24-inch length of Accu-Flex® professional quality beading wire.
String a crimp and an Accu-Guard™ wire protector onto the beading wire. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then add a crimp cover.
Step 5
String the following onto the beading wire three times:
- Two small silver-plated rondelles
- One corrugated double cone

Earring Instructions
