First, you'll want to start of by opening a jump ring (Item Code: P0020GP) place one of the turquoise quatrefoils (Item Code: SMAG021) inside and the first link to your rolo chain, close the jump ring. Count out 24 links, approximately 2 1/2 inches, and cut the chain at the 25th link. Make a loop with a headpin, place the other end of the chain in the loop and wire wrap it closed. Now, place a turquoise bead (Item Code: SHOW008) on the headpin, make a loop place a link from your chain. Wire wrap is closed and count 24 links and cut the chain at the 25th link.
Next, you'll want to make a loop with another headpin, place the end of the chain just cut and close by wire wrapping, slide a spiral gold bead (Item Code: P5544GA) on the headpin, make a loop on the other end of the headpin and close by wire wrapping. Stick a headpin through one of the holes in the turquoise quatrefoil, create a loop with the headpin and place the end of the necklace you've started connecting it. Do the same on the other side of the turquoise quatrefoil so it matches.
Next comes the chain again, attaching it to the end of the last gold bead. Cutting the chain at the 25th link. Attaching another turquoise bead. Then followed by more chain and another turquoise bead. At the end of the last bead you will want to open a jump ring place a gold quatrefoil link in it and close. Open another jump ring placing the same gold quatrefoil link and close. Adding another turquoise bead to that free jump ring will complete your pattern.
Following the pattern til the necklace reaches to at least 51 inches in length, use of the links from your rolo chain as a jump ring and attach the bar. Just place the bar through the first turquoise quatrefoil and there's your toggle clasp. Your necklace is done and you'll be able to enjoy the many ways this can be used. |
