Step One Begin by creating all of the wire links that you will need for this necklace. Please reference my January 2003 Looped Bracelet/Chain tip if you are unfamiliar with creating wire links. You will need 23 wire looped sections in all, they break down like this: 12 - Links with a single 6/0 Light Amethyst Bead 9 - Links with an 6/0 Amethyst Bead / 10mm Opaque Lilac Teardrop Bead / 6/0Amethyst Bead 2 - Links with a 4mm Silver Heishi Spacer Bead / 6/0 Amethyst Bead / Silver Heishi Spacer Bead
Step Two You can now begin assembly of the necklace; you will work from one end of the necklace to the other. Begin by connecting links* and additional materials together in this order: Connect Clasp to one of the Heishi/Amethyst/Heishi links Add one chain section Add a Light Amethyst link Add one chain section Add a Light Amethyst link
Step Three Repeat the following Nine times: Add a Teardrop link Add a Light Amethyst link
Repeat Step Two materials in reverse order to complete the necklace. *Remember to TWIST your link loops open, do not open them by bending the loop open or you will ruin the circular shape of the loop.
