Instructions
Step 1
Cut 12 inches of pearl Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
Attach a bead stopper to one end of the beading wire.
String the wire through a 2x1mm tube crimp bead and an Accu-Guard™ 4mm wire protector.
Crimp the crimp bead with crimping pliers.
Add a 4mm round crimp cover and close with crimping pliers.
Step 2
String 60 Crystal Passions® rosaline pearls onto the beading wire. Finish with a crimp bead and crimp cover, as in Step #1.
Step 3
Cut 10 inches of 3mm cable chain.
Add a 4mm round jump ring to both ends of the chain.
Step 4
String 15 Crystal Passions vintage rose bicone beads onto a 2-inch 21-gauge eye pin.
Make a simple loop to close the end of the eye pin.
Bend the eye pin slightly to make a curve. Attach a heart charm to the center of the beads on the eye pin using a 5.5mm round jump ring.
Step 5
Attach the sparkling eye pin to the Accu-Guard at the end of the strand of pearls on one side, and to the chain on the other side, using the simple loops at either end of the eye pin.
Attach one half of a toggle clasp to the strand of pearls, and the other half to the cable chain.
