Jewelry Making Idea: Brewsters Ethiopian Cross Necklace

Brewster's Ethiopian Cross Necklace
This masculine necklace is just like one I made for my husband Allen several years ago. Allen wears it all the time and gets loads of compliments so I decided to make one for our pastor Brewster. We carry 12 colors of the Greek ceramic spacers so if you don't like the purple, simply choose another color. Please remember that all the Ethiopian crosses are different and yours will more than likely not be the one in the picture.

Materials:
1 Silver Plated Ethiopian Cross (#19092) Qty:
1 Pkg. of Purple Ceramic Spacers, 6x4mm (#20039) Qty:
1 Pkg. of Black Genya, 5 yards, approx. 1mm (#49010) Qty:
1 Pkg. of Nickel Coils with Loop (#50037) Qty:
1 Pkg. of Nickel Plated Clasps, to be used with Nickel Coils with Loop (#50038) Qty:
1 Pkg. of Silver Plated Crimp Beads (#50050) Qty:
Tools you will need (change quantity to 1 if you need them):
Crimping Pliers (#51004) Qty:
Flat Chain Nose Pliers (#51016) Qty:

Directions:
Step 1. Cut approximately 21” of Genya.
Step 2. Take about a .25” of the end of the strand, double it in half, and put it into one of the Nickle Coils. Crush the last loop of the coil around the Genya with a flat nose pliers. Cut off any tail you might have sticking out of the coil.
Step 3. Open a Clasp and attach it by inserting it through the loop of the Coil.
Step 4. String the following beads:
1 Crimp Bead
1 Purple Spacer
Ethiopian Cross
1 Purple Spacer
1 Crimp Bead
Step 5. Repeat Step 2 with another Nickel Coil and the other end of the strand.
Step 6. Center the beads on the strand and, using Crimping Pliers, crush each Crimp. Enjoy!
