The focal and the clasp match perfectly in this necklace, because Cynthia used the same chandelier component for each. She used the bar component from a TierraCast toggle set to create a fun clasp. Check out our Sacred Lotus necklace for a fun idea on how to use the loop component from the set. See more of Cynthia's favorite components in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
Cut a length of satin Hamilton gold-plated leaf chain approximately four links long. Attach it to the outer loop of the antique brass-plated fancy ethnic chandelier using a 4mm gold-filled 20 gauge open jump ring. Repeat for the outer loop on the other side of the chandelier. Cut a length of leaf chain approximately 5 links long and attach it to another loop on the chandelier using a 4mm jump ring. Repeat for all remaining loops. Add a gold-filled 14K 6.1mm open jump ring to the top loop of the chandelier and set aside for now.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
