Stringing the Necklace

String onto one length of beading wire: one crimp and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a crimp cover.

String onto the beading wire:

• One 6mm bicone
• One blue sky jasper round
• One 6mm bicone
• One filigree round
• Two 6mm bicones
  
  
• One "pewter" corrugated round

• One filigree round
• Four sets of:
• Three 4mm bicones

Repeat Step 4 to secure the strand.

Repeat Steps 4 - 6 to create a second strand.

Finishing the Necklace

Pass one 5.5mm jump ring through another 5.5mm jump ring then close. Continue to attach 5.5mm jump rings together to create an extender chain that is 13 jump rings long.

String a 6mm bicone onto a head pin then form a simple loop.

Attach the drop to one end of the extender chain.

Using a 4mm jump ring, attach the Accu-Guard on the 6mm end of one strand to one loop of the focal component.

Using a 4mm jump ring, attach the opposite end of the same strand to the lobster claw clasp.

Using a 4mm jump ring, attach the Accu-Guard on the 6mm end of the second strand to the second loop on the focal component.

Using a 4mm jump ring, attach the opposite end of the strand to the end of the extender chain.
