• Instructions •

1. Remove chain segments using 2 pairs of chain nose pliers to open and close rolo links.

2. Create dangles by sliding head pin into teardrop and putting beaded head pin into cone. Pull bead all the way into cone. Use round nose pliers to create a coiled loop at top of cone, securing bead inside. Cut off excess wire with cutter tool and tuck tail into coil with chain nose pliers.

3. Attach clasp to 18” section of chain using jump rings.

4. Stretch chain on bead mat vertically and attach charms and beaded dangles with jump rings to chain hanging them on opposite sides of the following links alternating colors starting at the 3rd link from toggle bar with a tanzanite teardrop and again at every 27th link until reaching the final link and a black diamond teardrop.

5. Create the waterfall sections. Attach a black diamond teardrop to the end of the 2” section and alternate between knots and alternate color teardrops every third link (leave the final chain link empty.) The 1.5” section starts with a tanzanite bead as does the 1” section and repeats the pattern of the first section.

6. Attach the three beaded chain lengths to the toggle circle on a jump ring, working from right to left and longest to shortest.

7. Work back through design to ensure all jump rings are closed.
