Slide a 14K/20 gold-filled 2x2mm crimp tube onto the wire, followed by the last link of a 8-inch length of 11x7.5mm satin Hamilton gold-plated textured and plain link chain. Bring the wire back through the crimp tube and crimp in place. Hide the crimp with a TierraCast gold-plated brass 3mm crimp cover.

Add beads from the Jesse James Beads Design Elements Bead Mix in Creampuff to the strand. Cynthia used 8 beads. She started with a small cube-shaped bead, then added a faceted round, a briolette shape, a gold and white focal bead, a briolette, a creamy coin shape, a cube, and another creamy coin shape.

Open a 14K/20 gold-filled 7mm 20.5 gauge open round jump ring and add some charms from the mix. Cynthia used a metal leaf charm, a cream thread tassel, and a floral white tassel. Close the jump ring. Then, attach this jump ring to the center of your necklace using a TierraCast small gold-plated brass open round jump ring.
