Elizabeth Taylor was a style icon in the 1950's and '60s. I love a bit of Hollywood glamour and Swarovski crystals give the sparkle needed to create the look. All materials are available from Beads Unlimited.

Use your multi pliers to bend a loop in the end of the memory wire and squeeze closed.
Use the tip of the pliers to bend the teeth of the bail to more of a right angle, place the Swarovski heart into the bail and squeeze tightly to secure. Repeat for all of the hearts.
Make sure the loop on the top of the bail is closed. Add a jump ring to the top of each of the bails with hearts.
Thread eleven clear bicones alternating with eleven emerald xilion onto the memory wire. Start with the clear bicone.
Add a clear bicone, then thread on a jump ring attached to a heart followed by a clear bicone. Add an emerald xilion and repeat this order until you have added 10 more hearts. Add more bicones and xilion to mirror the first section of the necklace.
Trim the memory wire 1cm above the last bead if you need to and bend into a loop, add a jump ring with one side of the magnetic clasp and close the loop. Add a jump ring with the other half of the magnetic clasp to the other end of the memory wire.
