Materials

• Ribtex gold chain
• Ribtex gold filigree leaf cap
• Ribtex gold toggle floral connector
• Ribtex gold heart locket
• Ribtex gold ridge ball
• Ribtex crystal glass round facet beads
• Ribtex large pearl beads
• small gold beads
• gold jump rings
• gold head pins
• round nose pliers
• flat nose pliers
• cutting pliers
• bead board

Step 1

Measure the wrist and cut chain to desired length (usually about 18cm). Attach the toggle connector to the ends of the chain using jump rings. Thread a small gold bead onto a head pin followed by a crystal bead. Using cutting pliers and leaving approximately 1cm of wire, cut off excess head pin. Using the round nose pliers create a loop at the end and attach to the centre point of the chain. Make two more in the same way and attach to each end of the chain.

Step 2

Using jump rings attach gold heart lockets on each side of the centre crystal. Thread a small gold bead onto a head pin followed by a ridge ball then another small gold bead, trim off the excess as before and create a loop. Make another in the same way then attach each one to the chain next to the crystals at both ends of the chain.

Step 3

Thread a filigree leaf cap on to a head pin followed by a pearl bead then another leaf cap, trim off excess as before and create a loop. Make another in the same way then attach to the chain between the heart and the ridge ball.
