Supply List
6" Silver Cable Chain cut into 4 - 1 1/2" sections
22 Gauge Silver Wire
1 Silver Lobster Claw Clasp with Tab (clasp pictured is 12mm)
9 - 10mm Opaque Lilac Teardrop Beads
12 - 6/0 Light Amethyst Beads
20 - 6/0 Amethyst Beads
4 - 4mm Silver Heishi Spacer Beads
Step One
Begin by creating all of the wire links that you will need for this necklace. Please reference my January 2003 Looped Bracelet/Chain tip if you are unfamiliar with creating wire links. You will need 23 wire looped sections in all, they break down like this:
12 - Links with a single 6/0 Light Amethyst Bead
9 - Links with an 6/0 Amethyst Bead / 10mm Opaque Lilac Teardrop Bead / 6/0Amethyst Bead
2 - Links with a 4mm Silver Heishi Spacer Bead / 6/0 Amethyst Bead / Silver Heishi Spacer Bead
Step Two
You can now begin assembly of the necklace; you will work from one end of the necklace to the other. Begin by connecting links* and additional materials together in this order:
Connect Clasp to one of the Heishi/Amethyst/Heishi links
Add one chain section
Add a Light Amethyst link
Add one chain section
Add a Light Amethyst link
Step Three
Repeat the following Nine times:
Add a Teardrop link
Add a Light Amethyst link
Repeat Step Two materials in reverse order to complete the necklace.
*Remember to TWIST your link loops open, do not open them by bending the loop open or you will ruin the circular shape of the loop.
