Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut two 16-inch lengths of Beadalon® 0.024 sterling silver 19-strand professional quality beading wire.
Step 2
Thead one end of one 16-inch length of Beadalon through the loop in one end of a sterling silver rectangular pink druzy link.
Holding both ends of the Beadalon, thread both ends through a 2x2m sterling silver crimp tube. Slide the crimp tube up to the loop in the druzy link and crimp, leaving 2mm of space. Add a 3mm sterling silver crimp cover over the crimped tube.
Repeat for the opposite side of the link.
Tip: For more information on crimping and crimp covers, visit the “How to Crimp a Crimp Bead/Crimp Tube” and “Secrets to Crimp Covers” tutorials with video and illustrated instructions.
Step 3
Thread both ends of the Beadalon, on one side of the link, through a sterling silver crimp tube with hook, and crimp.
Use a flush-cutter to cut off 3mm of the hook on a sterling silver crimp tube hook, then use round-nose pliers to form it into a loop so you have a crimp tube with a loop.
Thread both ends of the remaining Beadalon on the opposite side of the link through the crimp tube with loop, and crimp.
