Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your materials. Here's a chance to use that special bead or charm that you have in your stash or that lonely one left from another project. You can also use up those bits of different types of chain that you have been saving. The amounts of findings will depend on your choices.

  2. 2

    Make your component dangles. Use the eye pins and headpins to create dangles that you can hang from the center ring. Connect some in series. Charms will only need a jump ring.

  3. 3

    Connect the dangles to varying lengths of chain with jump rings.

  4. 4

    Connect the chain ends to the main ring.

  5. 5

    Connect the necklace chain in the length you like to the main ring with jump rings.

  6. 6

    Add a clasp to the ends of the chain with jump rings.

    For this necklace, I selected tones of black, gray and silver, but you can create this in any color variation.
