Necklace
1. Cut a 16 ˝" length of purple Beadalon 7 and Cable Chain.

2. Cut a 7" length of purple Beadalon 7 and pass it through the center link on the 16 ˝" piece of Cable Chain.

3. Hold the wire ends together and pass them through a silver Crimp Bead. Adjust the wires so one is 3" long and one is 4" long. Push the Crimp Bead toward the fold to create a small loop.

4. Crimp the Crimp Bead and place a Crimp Cover over it. Use a Crimping Tool to close the cover.

5. Pass the 3" wire end through a purple shell chip, silver rondelle, green lentil and silver Crimp Bead. Crimp it. Attach a Crimp Cover.

6. Pass the 4" wire end through a purple shell bead frame with a 8mm black bead inside and a Crimp Bead. Crimp it. Attach a Crimp Cover.

7. Cut a 2 ˝" length of bronze Beadalon 7. Pass the wire through a copper Crimp Bead, the next link on the 16 ˝" Cable Chain and back into the Crimp Bead. Crimp it.

8. Pass the wire end through a 6/0 bead, silver rondelle, purple millefiori square and silver Crimp Bead. Crimp it and attach a Crimp Cover.

9. Pass a Head Pin through a square shell bead, silver rondelle, gray rondelle and 15 silver #0 Crimp Beads.

14. Cut a 1/2" length of Cable Chain. Open the last link on the chain and attach it to the loop on the Pinch Bail.

15. Open the top link on the chain and attach it to the next link on the 16 ˝" chain.

16. Cut a 16 1/2" length of purple Beadalon 7 and pass it through the beaded dangles hanging from the center of the chain.

17. Add purple seed beads to each end of the purple beading wire.

18. Open the rings on the EZ-Crimp ends and remove them from the clasp attachment. Use a Crimping Tool to attach half of the clasp to each end of the beading wire.

19. Open a jump ring and use it to connect one end of the seed bead wire and one end of the 16 ˝" chain. Attach it to half of the clasp.

20. Repeat Step 19 for the other end of the necklace.


Earrings
