Using a 2mm sterling silver crimp tube, a 5mm gold-plated Accu-Guard™ wire protector and a 3mm gold-plated crimp cover, crimp one end of one of the 9-inch lengths beading wire, adding the one loop of a 17x15mm antique gold-plated Celtic cross link inside of the Accu-Guard wire protector before crimping.

Step 4
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, creating a beaded strand attached to the opposite loop of the Celtic cross link.
