Material

A chain with large links (10 links – 8.5 cm); eye pins (7 cm – 13x, 6 cm – 14x, 5 cm – 14x); 6 mm rings (39x); a 5 mm ring (the necklace); 4 mm rings (2x – earring); a 22 mm carabiner; earring hooks

Tools

Needle-nose pliers or pliers with rounded points (the loops on the eye pins); flat-nose pliers (2x – closing the rings, straightening the eye pins, opening the chain links); combination pliers (2x – in the case of a strong chain); a ruler

Procedure

Step 1

The total length of the necklace is 41 cm. The fastening is 2.5 cm (the carabiner and the rings). Prepare 38.5 cm of chain. This length or a similar one must consist of an odd number of links. Open a chain link using two pliers with flat jaws.

Step 2

Linking
Use a 7 cm eye pin. If it is twisted, use the flat-nosed pliers to straighten it. Then string a line of F1 onto it. Leave the last 8–10 mm bare. Use that space to create an eye. Grip the bare end of the pin between the rounded points of the pliers. If you're right-handed, hold the eye pin and the F1 in your left hand and twist the pliers in your right hand. Twist the wire around the point. Close the loop. Keep holding the point of the pliers in the link. Gently twist the link around the edge of the F1. Bend the part with the F1 so that the link is horizontal with the table.

Step 4

Hang the F1 pendants on the chain. Use two flat-nose pliers to handle the rings (there are a lot of rings, so don't let your fingers get tired). Find the central link on the chain. Use a 6 mm ring to hang one F1 pendant there. Hang five pendants on one side of the chain. Then adorn the second side of the chain with the remaining five pendants. Place the pendants in every second link. You can orient the pendant curve to either side; to the left or the right. Orient the outer pendants' curves towards the centre.

Step 8

Step 10

Create the earrings
Link pendants consisting of 2x F1 onto a 7 cm pin, 2x F2 onto a 6 cm pin and 2x F3 onto a 5 cm pin. Hang one each of the F1, F2 and F3 pendants onto a 6 mm ring. Use a 4 mm ring to connect the 6 mm ring with an earring hook.
