Peace Pendant Necklace

Tutorial
Materials needed:
* 9 Elaine Ray Barrel Beads, 14 mm
* One Elaine Ray Peace pendant, 22 mm
* 1 inch Antique Brass open extender chain, 5 x 7 mm
* 6 Antique Brass jump rings, 9 mm
* One Antique Brass lobster claw clasp 9 x 17 mm
* 20 inches Antique Brass textural bar straight chain, 1 x 14 mm
* Chain nose pliers

Step One
• Count from one end of the chain to the end of the third bar. With your chain
nose pliers gently open the oval ring at the end of the bar and separate the
three links from the remainder of the chain to create a 3-link chain section.
Set oval rings and 3-link chain section aside. Repeat to create a total of 8 3-link
chain sections, 2 4-link chain sections and 1 1-link chain section. You may have
additional links, set them aside for another project.

Step Two
• With your chain nose pliers open a 9 mm jump ring and feed the ring through
the opening at the top of the peace pendant. Thread one end of a 3-link chain
section onto the open jump ring. Close the jump ring securely.

Step Three
• Thread a barrel bead onto the end of the 3-link chain section attached to the
pendant. Using a 9 mm jump ring attach a second 3-link chain section to the
end of the bar chain that emerges from the barrel bead.
• Thread a barrel bead onto the end of the chain section and use one of the
reserved oval rings to attach the next piece of chain.

Step Four
• Repeat step 3 to create a length of chain with four barrel beads separated by
bar chain. Finish this side by attaching a 4-link chain section to the final barrel
bead.

Step Five
• Complete the second side of the necklace in the same manner using four
barrel beads and the remaining 3- and 4-link chain sections. Finish both ends
by attaching the lobster claw and extender chain with your chain nose pliers.
