Step 1
Cut the following lengths of 3mm silver-plated paperclip chain: Two 8.2-inch sections, One 1.5-inch section.
Step 2
Working directly from the spool of 20-gauge silver-plated wire, thread on one 6mm light rose crystal rondelle.
Make a simple loop at the end of the wire, then finish the link with a second simple loop, cutting off the spool of wire.
Tip: For more information on making a simple loop, watch the "Secrets to Simple Loops" how-to video or read the instructions.
Attach one loop of the link to the end of the 1.5-inch chain, then attach the remaining loop to a 9mm 18-gauge silver-plated jump ring.

Step 3
Attach both sections of 8.2-inch chain, by one end each, to the 9mm 18-gauge silver-plated jump ring. Attach the hook of the hook-and-eye clasp to the opposite end of one 8.2-inch chain using a 5mm 20-gauge silver-plated jump ring. Attach the eye of the clasp to the other length of chain in the same way. Add a light rose crystal briolette to the bottom end of the 1.5-inch chain using a 5mm 20-gauge silver-plated jump ring.
