Step one: Cut three lengths of Zamba Pro 49 .019 jewelry wire approximately 19, 21 and 23 inches long. Step two: Begin with the tube clasp closed. Attach the shortest length of wire to the bottom loop of the clasp with a 2mm sterling silver crimp tube, then cover with a sterling silver crimp cover. For help using crimp tubes please Click Here.

Step four: With the tube clasp still closed, attach the finished strand to the bottom loop on the other side of the clasp. Cover with a crimp cover. Step five: With the medium length of wire, repeat step two this time on the middle loop of the tube clasp. Alternate 8mm Swarovski faceted light peach bicones and 3mm sterling silver oval beads until you use 7 of each. Add a 10mm Paula Radke striped round rust clear with rust black stripe dichroic bead. Continue with that pattern, inserting only 5 bicones between each dichroic until you have used 5 of the dichroic beads. Finish the pattern with 7 alternating Swarovski bicone and sterling oval beads. Attach the strand to the middle loop of the tube and finish with a crimp and crimp cover. Step six: For the final strand, attach the wire to the top loop of the clasp and repeat step 2. String the 4mm Swarovski bronze pearls to a length of approximately 20 inches. Finish the strand as you did the others with a crimp tube and cover.
