The creative use of the rich copper and enameled elements enhances the whimsical feel of the cat tails and dragonfly pendant.
Step one: On a 4-inch piece of jewelry wire, thread approximately 1 1/4 inches of copper Tohos and a crimp tube. Add the cattails purple dragonfly stoneware rectangle pendant and the medium copper line etched ring. To form the loop, thread the other end of the jewelry wire through the crimp tube. Pull the jewelry wire taut but not tight and crimp the crimp tube. For help using crimp tubes, please visit the Handy Tips section in the Learning Center. Trim the excess wire.
Step two: On a 12-inch piece of jewelry wire, thread 7 inches of copper Tohos. Add the copper round porous link and the medium copper line etched ring (with the pendant). Place a crimp tube on each end of the jewelry wire and the copper wire wrapped disc bead onto one of the ends. To form the loop, use the end of the jewelry wire that the copper bead is on and thread it through the crimp tube on the other end. Then use that end and thread it through the copper bead and the crimp tube. Pull the jewelry wire taut but not tight and crimp both crimp tubes.
Step three: Attach a jump ring to the other loop on the copper round porous link. Then link together in this order: another jump ring, the small copper line etched ring, a jump ring, the bitter green rectangle link, a jump ring, 9 ½-inches of antique copper-plated large squares and ovals chain, a jump ring and the bar end of the antique copper hammered square toggle clasp.
Step four: On a 9-inch piece of ZambaPro 49 .019 jewelry wire, thread 5 inches of round 11/0 matte galvanized copper Toho beads and a crimp tube. To form the loop, thread the other end of the jewelry wire through the crimp tube and pull taut to form a circle. Crimp the crimp tube and trim the excess wire. Set aside.
Step five: Attach a jump ring to the diamond low fire grapevine pendant. Attach it to one of the outside loops on the horseshoe link. Attach a jump ring to the diamond gold bamboo pendant, and attach it to the other outside link on the horseshoe link. Set aside.
Step six: For the other side of the necklace, attach a jump ring to the medium copper line etched ring (with the pendant). In this order add: 2 1/4-inches of copper-plated large circle link chain, a jump ring and another jump ring. Connect this to the center loop between the two pendants on the horseshoe link. To the small ring on the horseshoe link, add in this order: a jump ring, another jump ring, 6 1/4-inches of copper-plated large circle link chain, a jump ring, another jump ring, the antique copper radiant round link, a jump ring, the beaded Toho loop from step four, a jump ring and the loop end of the toggle clasp.
