Instructions
Using chain-nose pliers, gently curve the gold-plated brass filigree teardrop to form a shallow cradle that will hold the 30mm Picasso jasper matte puffed flat round focal bead.
Cut one (1) 8-inch length of ParaWire™, gold-finished and silver-plated copper, 20 gauge.
Thread the wire through the hole of the jasper focal bead and through openings near the top of the filigree teardrop so the bead rests securely inside the filigree cradle.
Bring both ends of the wire together above the filigree component and form a wrapped loop using one side of the wire to secure the focal assembly.
Using the remaining wire, string one 10mm gold-plated brass filigree round bead. Form a wrapped loop large enough to accommodate the chain, creating a decorative connector above the pendant.
Slide the top loop onto the gold-finished brass 3mm rolo chain with lobster clasp to complete the necklace.
