Instructions:
•
Crystal dangles: String a 2mm round bead, 10mm
round crystal, 3mm Faceted spacer, and second 2mm
round bead on a headpin and form a wrapped loop.
Repeat with the 8mm round crystal, omitting the first
2mm round bead.
•
Necklace: Working left to right, secure the two
18”-20” strands of beading wire to one Almond 2-1
link using crimp beads. String on one Almond 2 Hole
bar, followed by a 4mm bicone on the outer strand and
a 3mm Faceted spacer on the inner strand. Repeat 20
times. (The crystals are bigger than the 3mm spacers,
which creates the curve in the necklace). After the 21st
3mm spacer and bicone, string an Almond 3 Hole bar
through the top and middle holes, followed by one
3mm Faceted spacer on each strand, one 2 Hole bar,
and 2 more 3mm spacers (1 per strand). Repeat 16
times. String one more 3 Hole bar, then revert back to
the first pattern of one 3mm spacer on the inner strand
and one 4mm bicone on the outer strand followed by a
2 Hole bar. Repeat 20 times. After the last 2 Hole bar,
attach the bead wires to the second Almond 2-1 link
with crimp beads. Avoid pulling the wires too tightly
to allow the necklace to drape.
Again working left to right, begin the third strand of
the necklace by stringing the 10” strand of bead wire
through the bottom hole on the leftmost 3 Hole bar.
Secure with a crimp bead at the left side of the bar
and trim excess wire. String on one 3mm Faceted
spacer, one 8mm pendant-drilled bicone, and a second
3mm spacer. String through the bottom hole of the
next 3 Hole bar, then repeat 7 times, finishing with a
3mm spacer at the center of the necklace. String on
one 5mm Faceted spacer, the 10mm crystal dangle,
a second 5mm spacer, and one 3mm spacer. String
through the next 3 Hole bar and continue the pattern
of 3mm spacer, 10mm crystal, 3mm spacer, 3 Hole bar
8 more times. Secure the end of the bead wire on the
right side of the last bar with a crimp bead and trim
excess.
•
Finish: Attach the clasp bar to one side of the
necklace using one 01-0018-09 jumpring. On the other
side, create a short chain by attaching two 01-0018-09
jumprings, followed by the 3 clasp rings alternated
with single jumprings. Attach the 8mm crystal dangle
to the last clasp ring using the small (01-0016-09)
jumpring.
Tip: To increase length, add more 2 Hole bars, or add extra jumprings before the clasp components. When wearing,
adjust size by inserting the clasp bar anywhere on the clasp ring chain as desired.
