Cut one 78cm length and three 12cm lengths of chain. Starting with the first link of the 12cm length weave an eyepin through each link until there is 1cm of eyepin remaining (trim any excess chain). Use the round nosed part of your multi pliers and bend the eyepin into a loop and close. Make two more. Trim 0.5cm off the top of two eyepins. Measure and cut two 11cm lengths, add the chain in the same way.
Open a 5mm jump ring, pick up one of the longer eyepins (set the other two aside for the earrings), attach the jump ring to one end of the 78cm length chain and close the loop. Repeat on the other side of the eyepin.
Thread a 16mm magenta pearl onto an eyepin, using the cutting part of the multi pliers trim the eyepin approximately 1cm above the bead, bend it into a loop and attach it to the jump ring that is attached to the 78cm length of chain. Repeat on the other side.
Pick up a shorter eyepin with the chain, open the loop of the eyepin and attach it to the bottom loop of the beaded eyepin. Repeat on the other side to create parallel eyepins.
Thread a 16mm magenta pearl onto an eyepin, using the cutting part of the multi pliers trim the eyepin approximately 1cm above the bead, bend it into a loop and attach it to the second chain eyepin. Repeat on the other side.
Take the final short chain eyepin, thread a 7mm jump ring onto the eyepin over the chain and attach in the same way onto the bottom of the beaded eyepins.
Thread a pearl onto an eyepin, using the cutting part of the multi pliers trim the eyepin approximately 1cm above the bead, bend it into a loop and attach it to the 7mm jump ring on the eyepin, close the loop. Make sure the jump ring is in the centre of the eyepin and squeeze the eyepin into a ‘v’ shape.
Measure and cut two 11cm lengths of chain, one 9cm and one 8cm. Open a 7mm jump ring loop through the end link of each of the lengths and loop through the bottom loop of the central beaded eyepin. Close the jump ring.
To make the earrings thread a 16mm magenta pearl onto a headpin, using the cutting part of the multi pliers trim the headpin approximately 1cm above the bead, bend it into a loop and attach it to the eyepin with the chain. Open the loop at the bottom of a long ballwire, attach to the top loop of the eyepin and close the eyepin. Repeat to make a pair.
This is what your finished set should look like.
