Step 1:  Place a crystal on a head pin.  Bend head pin at a 90 degree angle and using wire cutters, cut off excess head pin leaving approximately 3/16 inch of the head pin.  Using a round nose pliers, carefully bend the head pin into a loop.

Step 2:  Place loop of head pin onto the center loop of the earring finding.  Tighten head pin loop.

Step 3:  To measure the chain, count 12 large loops and cut chain at the twist.  Next count 8 large loops and cut chain at the twist.  Then count 5 large loops and cut the chain at the twist.

Step 4:  Twist open 6 jump rings.

Step 5:  Place a jump ring at one end of the largest piece of chain and then through the first outside loop of the earring finding.  Twist the jump ring closed.

Step 6:  Place a jump ring at one end of the second largest piece of chain and then through the next loop of the earring finding.  Twist the jump ring closed.

Step 7:  Place a jump ring at one end of the smallest piece of chain and then through the next loop of the earring finding.  Twist the jump ring closed.

Step 8:  Now repeat Steps 5 through 7 to connect the other chain ends to the earring finding.

Step 9:  Twist open the loop of the French ear wire and place it through the top loop of the Chandelier earring finding.  Twist the loop closed.

For second earring repeat Steps 5 through 9.  Enjoy!
