Step 4
Attach an additional 5mm round sterling silver jump ring to the remaining open end of the chain to complete the necklace base. Set aside.
Step 5
Create three (3) bead drops as follows:
- String one Preciosa® Smoked Topaz 4mm round bead onto a 1.25-inch sterling silver ball pin and make a simple loop. Repeat to make two (2) smoked topaz drops.
- String one XTL Pas® Light Topaz Shimmer 8mm rondelle bead onto a 1.25-inch sterling silver ball pin and make a simple loop to create one (1) rondelle drop.
Step 6
Attach the sterling silver 3D coffee mug charm and the antiqued sterling silver sun charm to the connector using oval 7x5mm sterling silver jump rings, placing them between the bead drops for balanced spacing.
