Instructions
Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut the following lengths of chain:
- Two 5-inch lengths of Argentium® silver 2.25mm figaro chain
- One 7-inch length of 18-inch sterling silver 5.5mm paperclip chain
Step 2
Using a 5mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring, attach one of the lengths of figaro chain to one end of the 6-link lengths of paperclip chain. Attach the other length of figaro chain to the other end of the paperclip chain in the same manner.
Step 3
Using a 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring, attach a Crystal Passions® 8mm aquamarine pendant classic cut drop to a 18x17mm sterling silver Celtic naja component.
Step 4
Using 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump rings, attach your chosen charms, including the naja component from Step 3, to the paperclip chain. Turn the central link of paperclip chain sideways so the central charm hangs lower than the charms on the side.
Step 5
Attach a 5mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring to one end of the figaro chain. Attach a 9x8mm sterling silver open heart lobster claw clasp to the other end of the figaro chain.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
Using a 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring, attach a 10.5x6mm rectangle drop with “live” to one end of a 12x8mm lapis lazuli and sterling silver bicone link.
Step 2
Using a 4mm 20-gauge sterling silver round jump ring, attach the other end of the lapis lazuli link to a 41mm 20-gauge sterling silver diamond fishhook ear wire. Use another jump ring to attach a flower charm to the ear wire.
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the second earring, using a rectangle drop with “free” on it instead of one with “live.”
