Athena Necklace Tutorial

Cut a length of 1mm turquoise and gold two-tone beading chain approximately 11 inches long. Add a gold-plated pewter crimp end cap with loop to each end of the chain. Attach one end of the chain to the outer ring on a TierraCast gold antique beaded 5-1 link using a 5mm satin Hamilton gold-plated open jump ring. Attach the other end to the outer ring on another 5-1 link using another jump ring.

Finishing Chain Tutorial

Leave a single link open on the end of a 12-inch length of 3mm brown and gold two-tone rope. This will make it easier to add a jump ring. Use a jump ring to connect this end to the outer loop on your 5-1 link (the same loop your first piece of chain is attached to). Measure and cut the chain so that it is a little shorter than the first length of chain and lays nicely next to it, making sure to leave a single link open on the end. Attach this end to the outer ring on the other link using a jump ring.

Leave a single link open on the end of a 12-inch length of 4mm white and gold two-tone flat braided chain. Use a jump ring to connect this end to the next loop on your 5-1 link. Measure and cut the chain so that it is a little shorter than the last. Attach the end to the next ring on the other link using a jump ring.

Leave a single link open on the end of a 12-inch length of 3mm turquoise and gold two-tone rope chain. Use a jump ring to connect this end to the middle loop on your 5-1 link. Measure and cut the chain so that it is a little shorter than the last. Attach the end to the middle loop on the other link using a jump ring.

Attach a crimp end to the end of the 12-inch piece of 1mm white and gold two-tone beading chain. Use a jump ring to connect this end to the fourth loop on your 5-1 link. Measure and cut the chain so that it is a little shorter than the last. Attach a crimp end to the other end of the chain and attach it to the fourth loop on the other link using a jump ring. Repeat this step for the 1mm brown and gold two-tone beading chain.

Leave a single link open on the end of a 12-inch length of 4mm turquoise and gold two-tone flat braided chain. Use a jump ring to connect this end to the last open loop on your 5-1 link. Measure and cut the chain so that it is a little shorter than the last. Attach the end to the last loop on the other link using a jump ring.

Cut a length of 5x4.5mm satin Hamilton gold-plated flat cable chain approximately eight inches long. Attach one end to the single loop on the end of your 5-1 link using a jump ring. Repeat on the other end of the necklace. Attach a 14/20 gold-filled medium trigger clasp to one end of your necklace using a jump ring.
