Vista Necklace Project

N2018

This project sponsored by:

1) Take the 25" length of beading wire and thread on one crimp tube and the closed jump ring. Take the wire around and back down through the crimp tube and then pull the wire so that there's about a 2mm loop left. Crimp the tube closed with your crimping pliers and then close a crimp cover around the crimped tube. Snip off any wire tail that may be left.

2) Thread on a 4mm antique brass bead followed by this pattern;
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Crystal Rondelle
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
2 - Antique Brass beads
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Bead Cap
1 - Crystal Pearl
1 - Bead Cap

This will take care of the first section. Now here is the pattern for the main part of the necklace;

1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Antique Brass bead
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Crystal Rondelle
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Antique Brass bead
1 - Leopard Skin Jasper
1 - Bead Cap
1 - Crystal Pearl
1 - Bead Cap

Repeat this part of the step six more times. Then repeat the first section again (going from the bottom to the top of that list section). This will complete the pattern for the necklace.

3) Thread the last crimp tube onto the wire along with the lobster claw clasp. Take the wire around and back down the crimp tube. Pull so that there is about a 2mm loop left in the wire. Crimp the tube shut with your crimping pliers, and then close a crimp cover around the crimped tube. Snip off any excess wire tail that may be left.

4) Cut the 6" length of wire into six 1" lengths. Take the 13" length of chain and open one of the 6mm open jump rings. Fit the jump ring onto the end link of the chain and then fit the jump ring around the two antique brass beads towards the top of the necklace. Close this jump ring and then snip the chain about 1-1/2" down from the first link (or 13 links if you're counting links). Pick up one of the 1" length of wire and make a wrapped loop with one end - attaching this to the 1-1/2" length of chain. Thread on a crystal bronze shade rondelle and then make another wrapped loop, attaching this to the length of chain that was cut away.

5) Measure about 2" from the last wrapped loop and snip the chain (16 links). Take another 1" length of wire and just like in the previous step, you'll make a crystal beaded link to attach one part of the chain to the other. After this is done, repeat this exact step four more times.

6) Make sure that the final length of chain is 13 links long, and then open the last jump ring. Use this to attach the beaded chain to the other half of the necklace, right between the two antique brass beads towards the top of the necklace.
