Instructions
Step 1
Cut 2 lengths of wire 8 inches each and make messy wrapped loops on each Venetian Glass bead.

See Denise Peck's video on making wrapped loops. https://www.wirejewelry.com/jewelry_making_videos/Perfect-Wrapped-Loop_13.html

Step 2
Cut 15 lengths of wire 4 inches long and make messy wrapped loops on all 15 pearls.

Step 3
Cut the following lengths of chain:

1 - 3 inches

4 - 2"

8 - 1.5"

3 - 1"

2 - ¾"

Length for neck chain (I used 10" so the necklace fits over my head, no need for a clasp)
Step 4
We'll create 3 different necklaces and connect them to the glass beads.

To make necklace #1 (shortest length) using jump rings to connect components:

· Attach 1.5'' chain to pearl #1

· Attach pearl #1 to 1.5" chain

· Attach pearl #2 to other end of chain

· Attach 1" chain to pearl #2

· Attach pearl #3 to other end of chain

· Attach 1.5" to pearl #3

· Attach pearl #4 to other end of chain

· Attach 1.5" to pearl #4

· Attach each chain end to glass beads

To make necklace #2 (mid length) using jump rings to connect components:

· Attach 2'' chain to pearl #1

· Attach pearl #1 to 1" chain

· Attach pearl #2 to other end of chain

· Attach 2" chain to pearl #2

· Attach pearl #3 to other end of chain

· Attach 2" to pearl #3

· Attach pearl #4 to other end of chain

· Attach 1" to pearl #4

· Attach pearl #5 to other end of chain

· Attach 2" to pearl #5

· Attach each chain end to glass beads
Step 6
To make necklace #3 (long length) using jump rings to connect components:

· Attach 3/4'' chain to pearl #1

· Attach pearl #1 to 1.5" chain

· Attach pearl #2 to other end of chain

· Attach 1.5" chain to pearl #2

· Attach pearl #3 to other end of chain

· Attach 3" to pearl #3

· Attach pearl #4 to other end of chain

· Attach 1.5" to pearl #4

· Attach pearl #5 to other end of chain

· Attach 1.5" to pearl #5

· Attach ¾" to pearl #5

· Attach each chain end to glass beads
Step 7

NOTE: You may want to make your own jump rings to match using 20 gauge wire.
