Necklace directions:
Step 1. Onto each of 4 Eye Pins, place a Stardust Round.
Step 2. Using Flat Nose Pliers, bend the excess wire on each Eye Pin 90°. Using a Side Cutter, cut off the excess from each Eye Pin leaving approximately 3/16.” Make a loop with the excess wires, using Round Nose Pliers, and close tightly. Set aside.
Step 3. Onto each of 6 Eye Pins, place a Pearl. Repeat Step 2. (Note: 2 of these will be leftover for the earrings)
Step 4. Onto each of 2 Eye Pins, place a 6mm Crystal. Repeat Step 2.
Step 6. Onto a Head Pin, place a 6mm Crystal. Repeat Step 2.
Step 7. Onto a Head Pin, place an 8mm Crystal. Repeat Step 2.
Step 8. Onto an Eye Pin, place a Rhodocrosite Gemstone. Repeat Step 2.
(Following are the steps to the Dangle)
Step 9. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring with Flat Nose Pliers. Insert the Jump Ring into a loop of one of the Eye Pins with a 6mm Crystal AND onto one of the Small Square Hammertone Links. Twist the Jump Ring closed with the same Pliers.
Step 10. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the bottom of the attached Square Hammertone Link and the Head Pin with the 8mm Crystal. Twist the Jump Ring closed and set aside.
Step 11. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert the Jump Ring into a loop of one of the Eye Pins with a 6mm Crystal AND onto one end of the Solid Diamond Hammertone Link. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 12. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert the other end of the Solid Diamond Hammertone Link and one end of the Eye Pin containing the Rhodocrosite Gemstone. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 13. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert the other end of the Eye Pin with the Gemstone and the Large Teardrop Hammertone Link. Twist the Jump Ring closed and set aside.
Step 14. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert into the end of the Head Pin containing a 6mm Crystal and the Small Oval Hammertone Link. Twist the Jump Ring closed and set aside.
Step 15. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring. Onto this Jump Ring you will place the 3 components to complete your Dangle. Take Component 1, which was set aside in Step 8, Component 2, which was set aside in Step 11, and Component 3, which was set aside in Step 12. Components 1 and 2 go onto the Jump Ring through the Eye Pins and Component 3 goes onto the Jump Ring through the Link. Twist the Jump Ring closed. Set aside.
(Dangle Complete)
Step 16. Take your Oval and Round Link Chain and double it so that it is in equal halves, but do not cut the Chain (Note: the purpose for this is so that the Necklace comes out evenly).
Step 17. At the middle/bottom of your Chain should be a larger oval of the Chain. To this Oval, attach a 4mm Jump Ring by twisting the Jump Ring open with Flat Nose Pliers, inserting the Oval, and twisting the Jump Ring closed with the same pliers.
Step 18. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert one end of a Large Hammertone Rectangle link and the, already attached, 4mm Jump Ring. Twist the 6mm Jump Ring closed.
Step 19. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert it into the bottom of the attached Rectangle link and the 6mm Jump Ring with the Dangle Components. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
(Now onto the Chain)
Step 20. On one of the equal halves of your Chain, count past 2 Large Ovals of the Chain (not counting the one that the Dangle is attached to) to, what will be, the 3rd Smaller, Round Link (this measure about 2 ¼”). Using Side Cutters, cut the Smaller, Round Link off.
Step 21. Take one of your Eye Pins with a Pearl. Twist open one end of the Eye Pin and insert the Chain (the piece of Chain that you are inserting should be shaped like an 8). Close the Eye Pin.
Step 22. Twist the other end of the Eye Pin open and insert the end of the Chain where it has just been cut. Twist the Eye Pin closed.
Step 23. Count past one Large Oval of the Chain to the next Small, Round Link and cut the Round Link off.
Step 24. Repeat Steps 21 and 22 with a Stardust Round.
Step 25. Repeat Step 23.
Step 26. Repeat Step 21 with a Stardust Round.
Step 27. Twist open one end of an Eye Pin with a Pearl and insert it into the Eye Pin with the Stardust Round that you just attached. Twist the Eye Pin closed.
Step 28. Twist open the other end of the Eye Pin with the Pearl and insert the remaining half of your Chain.
(Now for the 2nd and final half of your Chain)
Step 29. Count past one Large Oval of the Chain (again, this is not including the Large Oval Link that the Dangle is attached to) to the next Small, Round Link and cut the Round Link off.
Step 30. Repeat Step 21 and 22 with a Stardust Round
Step 31. Cut off the next, Larger Oval of the Chain.
Step 32. Repeat Steps 21 and 22.
Step 33. Count past 2 Large Ovals of the Chain to, what will be, the 2nd Smaller, Round Link (this will measure slightly less than 2”). Using Side Cutters, cut the Smaller, Round Link off.

Step 34. Repeat Steps 26-28.
Step 35. You have another Chain, the Figaro Twist Chain. You may use this to make the Necklace however long or short you would like it. Cut your desired length of Chain.
Step 36. Fold the Chain, that you just cut, into equal halves and attach one end to an end of your finished Oval and Round Link Chain with a 4mm Jump Ring.
Step 37. Attach the other end of the Figaro Twist Chain to the remaining end of the Oval and Round Chain with a 4mm Jump Ring.
Step 38. Measure the Figaro Chain that you just attached. At the halfway point, cut off a figure 8 from the Chain.
Step 39. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and attach the Lobster Clasp to one end of the Chain.
Step 40. On the opposite end of the Chain attach a 6mm Jump Ring that goes with the Lobster Clasp.

Earring directions:
Step 1. Using a 4mm Jump Ring, attach one of the remaining Eye Pins containing a Pearl to one end of a Large Oval Hammered Link.
Step 2. Using a 4mm Jump Ring, attach a Small Square Hammered Link to the other end of the Eye Pin containing the Pearl.
Step 3. Attach a 6mm Jump Ring to the other end of the Small Square Hammered Link.
Step 4. Attach a 4mm Jump Ring to the 6mm.
Step 5. Attach an Ear wire to the 4mm Jump Ring
Step 6. Repeat Steps 1-5 for the 2nd Earring.
