Instructions
Step 1
Take one of the pieces of chain and holding it about halfway, thread it into the back and out the front of the ring so you have the 2 chain tails hanging from the back of the ring and a chain loop hanging from the front of the ring. Bring the 2 chain tails through the chain loop from the back to the front, pull them to tighten the knot.

Step 2
This knot needs to be secured so it doesn't unravel. Take a small open jump ring and go through a link on the left chain tail, then go through a link from the back loop of the knot, and lastly through a link from the right chain tail, and close the ring.

Step 3
If you find this difficult to do from the front you can hold both chain tails and go through these 3 rings from the back.

Step 4
Take the second piece of chain and do the same as before, threading it through the connector ring from back to front. Bring the 2 tails through the chain loop and tighten the knot.

Step 6
To add the bail take the large open jump ring and go through the top of the connector ring and close the ring. Take a small open jump ring and go through the jump ring just added and the loop on the bail and close the ring.

Step 7
I have used a bail that can be undone and worn on multiple necklaces.

Step 8
If you are using a normal bail that fits tightly on your cord place the pendant on the cord before gluing the ends. For more info on getting the best result see my tool tips on using epoxy and gluing the end caps on.
