Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Place one Crystal Passions SS39 light Siam rivoli chaton into the center of a JBB Findings 20x19mm sterling silver flower drop. Using chain-nose pliers, gently fold the four prongs on the setting inward over the crystal, making sure the crystal sits flat and all prongs are snug and secure.
Insert the top loop of the flower drop into a 12x5mm sterling silver ice-pick bail. Close the bail securely so it grips the top of the pendant.
Cut a Gossamer™ sterling silver snake chain to your desired length. (16 to 18 inches is recommended.)
Slide the chain through the bail.
Insert one end of the chain into a 4x2.5mm sterling silver tube crimp end. Use pliers to gently crimp the tube closed.
Repeat for the other end of the chain.
Open a 5mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring. Attach it to one crimp end loop and add a lobster clasp. Close the jump ring securely.
Open a 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring. Attach it to the loop on the other crimp end and close it securely.
Earring Instructions
Place one 6mm red cubic zirconia half-drilled bead into a 10x8mm sterling silver lotus earstud. Fold the prongs over the crystal carefully.
Repeat for the second earring.
