Directions
1. Start by measuring the length of chain to your liking. Using your two chain nose pliers, twist open a jumpring and attach your clasp to one end of the chain. Add a jumpring to the other end.
2. Again with your two chain nose pliers open 16 jumprings and add two green leaves facing different directions to each jumpring. Three links from the clasp, add a jumpring with two leaves on one side of the link.
Add another jumpring with leaves on the opposite side of the link. Count 6 links; on the 6th link, add another jumpring with two leaves to one side of the link and
another jumpring with leaves to the opposite side. Continue until you have used all 16 jumprings with leaves.
3. Using 14 one-inch headpins, stack one topaz bead. Pinch on the top of the bead with your chain nose and bend wire forward in a 45 degree angle.
Switch to your round nose and pinch on the top of the wire angle bringing the extra wire around one round jaw until it meets the other part of the wire. Cut off
the excess wire. Continue until you have done all 14 pieces.
Between each leaf cluster, there should be 5 links – in the 2nd and 4th link, attach your firepolish simple loop.
4. Using 21 of the one-inch headpins, stack one topaz crystal, one copper pearl and one more topaz crystal.
Using your chain nose, pinch the top of the last crystal and bend forward making a 45 degree angle.
Switch to your round nose plier and pinch the top of the wire angle bringing the extra wire around one round jaw until it meets the other part of the wire. Cut off
the excess. Continue until you have done all 14 pieces.
Between each leaf cluster, there should be 5 links – in the 1st, 3rd, and 5th link, attach your crystal simple loop.
