STEP by STEPS

Step 1: Create the hammered ring focal.
A: Using rosary pliers turn in the legs of the turtle charm approxmately the width of the hammered ring.
B: Place turtle over the hammered side of the ring. Slide into desired place. C: Crimp the turtle legs to the back side of ring using the chain nose pliers. Repeat until secure.
D: String a 5mm glass bead onto a 1” head pin. Form a simple loop. (see “Basic Linking on the tips and techniques page)
E: Attach bead drop to a 6mm jump ring and secure to the hole in the hammered ring. (bead will suspend in the center opening).

Step 2: Create your bead links & drops
A: Use the basic linking technique to secure your beads onto your head pins and eye pins.
B: For pearls: String your pearl onto one 1.5” pearl head pin. Form a wrapped loop.
Begin with a 90 degree bend near the top of your bead. Use your rosary pliers to form a simple loop with the tail overlapping. Wrap the tail tightly down the neck of the wire to create coils.

Step 3: Assemble your bead sequences
A: Connect your bead links, shell, and bead drops using 6mm jump rings.
B: Repeat for multiple sequences.

Step 4: Assemble your focal
A: Attach your bead sequences to the hammered ring using 8mm jump rings.

Step 5: Finish your necklace.
A: Attach your focal cluster (the 6mm jump ring attached to the hammered ring) to the ring end of a swirl clasp set. B: Attach the opposite end of the swirl clasp to your desired length of 10mm round link chain. C: End by attaching a second swirl clasp to the opposite end of chain and loop clasp through the ring end previously secured to the focal cluster.

Helpful tip:
You may attach your necklace by either end of the pendant. Two swirls clasps are used in the front of this necklace for a decorative look. A single clasp would work as well, simply attach one end of the chain to the focal cluster to replace one swirl.

Your necklace is complete, Enjoy!
