Step one: Cut a length of Beadalon satin gold jewelry wire to approximately 22 inches. Crimp one end of the wire to the loop end of your toggle clasp using a 2x2mm gold filled crimp tube. For instructions on how to use a crimp tube, please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.
Step two: String a 5mm Swarovski topaz and gold roundelle followed by 25 Swarovski 5mm peach pearls, another 5mm roundelle, a 12mm Swarovski graphic ruby bead, another 5mm roundelle, five 7mm peach pearls, a 6mm Swarovski topaz and gold roundelle, 18mm ruby graphic bead, 6mm roundelle, 6x8mm bright oval s-cut bead, 6mm roundelle and another 18mm ruby graphic bead. You are now at the center of the design. Reverse the pattern as you work back toward the other end of the clasp.
Step three: When you have strung all of your beads, crimp the other end of your wire to the bar end of your toggle clasp and trim the excess wire. Cover both crimp tubes with 3.2mm gold-filled crimp covers.
