Savannah Sugar Necklace
Almost everyone here has an obsession with our Lampwork Disc beads and that prompted me to design this summery necklace. The opaqueness of the Raspberry and Lavender Swirl Lentils look amazing with the sparkling Jonquil, Indian Pink and Provence Lavender Swarovski Crystals. This piece also incorporates Silver Plated Oval and Circle Chain and is so easy to make using simple linking techniques. The finished length measures approximately 17 inches, including the clasp.-Dannie, Customer Service

Directions:
Step 1. Thread one Jonquil Crystal, one Heishi, one Pink Crystal, one Lampwork Disc, one Pink Crystal, one Heishi and one Jonquil Crystal onto an Eye Pin. Repeat this pattern onto 4 more Eye Pins. Form a simple loop above the last Crystal by bending the Eye Pin 90 degrees with Flat Nose Pliers. Trim the Eye Pin with Side Cutters to leave about ¼ inch behind and curl this into a tight loop with Round Nose Pliers. Set aside.

Step 2. Onto 4 separate Eye Pins, slide on one Lavender Crystal and form a simple loop above each. Set aside.

Step 3. Onto 2 separate Head Pins, slide on one Lavender Crystal. Form a wire-wrapped loop by gripping the wire about 2mm above the bead and hand-wrapping your way down. If it’s easier, you can always use Round Tip Pliers to grip the end and wrap. Set aside.

Step 4. Separate your chain into 5 sections simply by removing the connectors with Flat Nose Pliers. The center section consists of an oval, circle and oval link, the next two portions will be a single oval and the last two sections will consist of a circle, oval and circle links. Set aside.

Step 5. Assemble all of the above components together by starting from one end. First, twist open a Jump Ring and slide through the loop on one piece of your toggle clasp. Before closing the Jump Ring, slide on a wire-wrapped Lavender Crystal and then through the end of the circle Chain linked section. Twist the Jump Ring closed.

Step 6. Open a loop from a Lampwork Eye Pin from Step 1 onto the circle Chain link and close loop. On the opposite end of the Eye Pin, slide on a single oval link.

Step 7. Continue connecting by opening the loops on a Lavender Crystal Eye Pin and attaching it to the other side of the single oval link and through the loop of a Lampwork Eye Pin.

Step 8. Open the loops on a Lavender Crystal Eye Pin and slide through the loop of the Lampwork Eye Pin from above and attach to the oval, circle and oval link piece of Chain.

Step 9. Repeat Steps 5-8 to complete the other side of the necklace.

Step 10. For the finishing touch, attach the last Lampwork Eye Pin onto the center circle link piece of Chain. Open the bottom loop and slide on the wire-wrapped Lavender Crystal. Enjoy!
