Step one: Cut a length of ZambaPro 49 .019 jewelry wire to approximately 16 inches (for a 15 inch finished choker. If you need a longer length, adjust accordingly). Using a 2x3mm sterling silver crimp tube, attach one end of the wire to one side of the clasp. For instructions on how to use a crimp tube, please visit the Handy Tips section of our Learning Center.
Step two: String 13 inches (or ample beads for a choker that will fit) of white nugget freshwater pearls. Crimp the other end of the wire to the other side of the clasp.
Step three: On a sterling silver eye pin, attach a three petal small Hill Tribe silver rose to the loop of the pin, then string a nugget pearl and attach it to the ring of the bird clasp using a wrapped loop. For instructions on how to make a wrapped loop, please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
