Celebrate your faith with this gorgeous Swarovski and sterling silver necklace. This is a perfect gift for confirmation, graduation or a wedding!
Step one: Cut two lengths of Zamba Pro 49 .019 jewelry wire to approximately 12 inches each. Crimp one end of the wire to the heart side of your clasp using a 2x2mm crimp tube. For help using crimp tubes please Click Here.
Step two: String a 5mm Swarovski burgundy pearl followed by an 8mm Swarovski powder rose pearl, another burgundy pearl and a powder rose pearl. Now string a silver 7mm cutout tube followed by an 8mm Swarovski helix in light rose, another tube bead, an 8mm powder rose pearl, 5mm burgundy pearl and an 8mm powder rose. This second portion is your repeating pattern. Repeat it four more times but stop short of the last 8mm pearl. Crimp this end of the wire to a sterling silver oval flower link. Repeat the entire process for the other side of the necklace.
Step three: Cut 15 links of the chain and using small jump rings, attach it to the bottom of your flower link so it dangles below the rest of the necklace.
Step four: Find the center link and attach the cross using a small open jump ring.
