Instructions

This romantic necklace is made up in two sections, the unadorned piece that wraps around the neck, and the trio of loops at the bottom of the necklace.

Neck Section

1.  Cut a 60cm length of medium open link chain (JF331).

2.  Attach a large jump ring to each end of the chain, and then attach a small jump ring to the large jump ring.

3.  Link the small jump rings into the single hole at the top of the swirl end bar.

Trio of LoopsStep 1

1.  The first loop contains the 10mm glass beads.  Thread a bead cap, a 10mm round glass bead and a bead cap onto an eye pin.  Leaving approximately 1cm, trim excess wire and form a loop at the end of the pin.  Repeat to make 7 bead and cap units.

2.  Join the 7 eye pins to make a chain by connecting the eye pin loops together, using a jump ring between each unit.

3.  Attach a small jump ring to each end of the chain and connect it to the inside loop of the swirl end bar.Step 2

4.  The second loop is constructed by joining 30 large silver jump rings together.  Once you have done this, connect this 'chain' to the centre hole of the swirl end bar.

5.  For the third loop make mini dangles using 4mm glass bi-cones, thread a single bi-cone onto a head pin, leaving approximately 1cm, trim excess wire and form a loop at the end of the pin.  Repeat to make 5 mini dangles.

6.  Cut 25cm of large open link chain (JF332).  Find the centre of the chain.  Attach a mini dangle with the head pin loop.  Attach the remaining 4 mini dangles to the chain, spacing them out evenly (approximately 3 links between dangles).  Lastly, connect this loop to the outside hole of the swirl end bar.

Your Russian Romance necklace is complete.
