Lapis Layers Necklace Tutorial

Cut the 925/10 silver-filled oval fancy chain into one strand approximately 19 inches long and set aside.

Cut one strand of jewelry wire approximately 7 inches long, 8 inches long and 9.5 inches long. Thread the end of each jewelry wire through one sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube, approximately 1.5 inches down from the ends. Crimp the wires together. Cut two of the three short wire ends up close to the crimp, and then thread one white silver-plated brass Viking knitting end cap with circle cut outs onto the strand and over the crimp tube.

Add one 5mm round pearl in Lapis, one 3mm bright sterling silver roundel bead and one 3mm round pearl in Dark Lapis onto the short wire strand.

Attach the beaded strand from Step three to one end of the fancy oval chain using a new crimp tube. Cover the crimp tube with one sterling silver 3mm crimp cover.
