Crystal pearls, faceted plastic rounds and gun metal chains are clustered in a chaotic mass at the front of this daring, delightful and decidedly different necklace design. The less you map this one out, the better. You can opt to vary the chain lengths even more dramatically to give this an ‘haute couture’ design flavor.
Materials
13 8mm black plastic faceted rounds
14 12mm SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS cream pearls
39 1.5-3” lengths small gun metal curb chain
18.5” section gun metal oval rolo chain
27 gun metal head pins
1 large silver plated swivel lobster clasp
15 4mm gun metal jump rings
Tools
Round nose pliers
2 pairs chain nose pliers
Wire cutters
1. Cut 39 1.5-3” sections of small gun metal chain.
2. Create looped dangles for every pearl and faceted round.
3. Cut an 18.5” section of rolo chain. Attach a pearl to one end using a jump ring.
4. Attach the lobster clasp to the other end using a jump ring.
5. Starting on the 32nd link in your chain, attach a pearl, a faceted round and three varied lengths of small chain with a jump ring to the link.
6. Move down every link and continue attaching a pearl, a round and three varied lengths of chain on a jump ring. There are 13 pearl, round and chain combos.
