Step 1
Use a bezel pusher to set a 6mm round topaz gem in the cross setting.
Step 2
Cut a 4-inch length of 24-gauge wire. Create a wrapped loop on one end of the wire. Alternately string on six 2mm sterling rounds and five 8mm topaz rondelles then create a wrapped loop.
Step 3
Cut two 7-inch lengths of 2mm cable chain. Use 3mm jump rings to attach a length of chain to each side of the beaded link.
Step 4
String the cross pendant onto the 18-inch serpentine chain. Attach the ends of the cable chain to the jump rings of the clasp of the serpentine chain.
Earring Instructions
Step 1
Set a 7x5mm topaz gem into each earstud setting.
Step 2
String a 2mm round, an 8mm rondelle and a 2mm round on a head pin then create a wrapped loop. Repeat to create a second drop.
