| This necklace was originally made for Alyssa to wear in Maggie’s wedding, but she loved it so much she wears it for all of her special occasions now! For matching earrings click here. For the bracelet, click here.
Step one: On a 2 inch sterling silver eye pin, string a wavy rectangle bead frame with a 2mm Swarovski rose faceted round bead followed by a 12mm Swarovski light amethyst cosmic bead and another 2mm round. String it through the other side of the bead frame and finish with a simple loop. For instructions on how to make simple loops, please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center. Using the wire you trim from the end of the head pin, create a link with simple loops on each end and a 6mm Swarovski powdered rose pearl in the center. Attach the link to the bottom of the bead frame link. Add a sterling silver open jump ring to a 24mm amethyst Swarovski de art pendant and link it to the bottom of the powdered rose link. This will serve as your pendant, set it aside for now.
Step two: Cut a length of Soft Touch jewelry wire to approximately 19 inches and crimp one end to one side of the sterling silver question mark clasp. String an 8mm Swarovski powdered rose pearl followed by a sterling silver flower petal outline bead cap, a 3mm Swarovski faceted round fuchsia bead, a 4mm sterling silver round matte diamond cut bead, another fuchsia round, a 12mm Swarovski light amethyst cosmic bead, fuchsia round, 5mm sterling silver seamless round, fuchsia round, 8mm pearl, fuchsia round, matte diamond cut round, fuchsia round, bead cap, powdered rose pearl, bead cap, fuchsia round, matte diamond cut bead, fuchsia round, pearl, fuchsia round, 5mm silver round, fuchsia round and a 12mm Swarovski amethyst cosmic bead. After that you repeat the section of fuchsia rounds, silver and pearls, then add a light amethyst cosmic bead and three more 3mm Swarovski fuchsia rounds. At this point you add your pendant and reverse the pattern as you work toward your other clasp.
Step three: Crimp the remaining wire to the other side of the toggle. Trim the excess wire. Cover your crimp tubes with crimp covers and you are done!
