Regency Necklace
- Category: Contemporary
- Technique(s): Chain Making
- Skill Level: Beginner
A delicate necklace, or two, for a romantic day. Infinity knots hold tiny light blue crystals and moonstones - also a lapis design centering in rose gold wire. The crystal and moonstone necklace measures 18 inches in length, the lapis one is a bit longer. Taking cues from the Regency era jewelry, delicate chains sit softly around the nape of the neck.
The moonstones are 4mm roundelles. You will need 12 beads of each color, or 24 beads of a single color to make one 18 inch length necklace.

Instructions
Step 1
Use the wire cutters to measure and cut 24 pieces of 1 1/4 inch of wire.
Step 2
Wrap the end of one piece of wire around the thick end of the round-nose pliers to start to form a circle.
Step 3
Hold the curved wire in place with the pliers, and gently push up the wire with your fingers to close the loop.
Step 4
Because of the repetitive pattern of the chain loop, I suggest making several chain links at a time, rather than making each link complete, before starting another.
Step 5
Add a bead to each piece of looped wire.
Step 6
Use the round-nose pliers to wrap the loop on the opposite side, and curving the loop in the opposite direction.
Step 7
Hold and secure the bead in the middle to close the loop.
When you have made all 24 chain links, use the nylon-jaw pliers, one in each hand, on either side of the bead, to straighten the links to lie flat.

Step 8
Open the jump rings and arrange them in the pattern in between each link. Close the rings around each end of each link using the flat-nose pliers, one in each hand.
Step 9
Open the last two jump rings. Join the end links, one to each side of the clasp finding. Close the rings. Feel the wire on the chain, and use the flat-nose pliers to adjust as needed.
