1. Cut about two feet of beading wire and fold a piece of tape over one end to keep the beads from slipping off. Begin stringing the base of the necklace using the following pattern. One 11/0 seed bead, one 8/0 seed bead, one 11/0, one 2.2mm spacer bead (SPR22) and one 5mm crystal bicone, one SPR22. Repeat this pattern remembering to alternate the color of the 5mm bicones.

2. Repeat this pattern remembering to alternate the color of the 5mm bicones.

3. Continue for about 7 inches and then add 12pcs 8mm crystal bicones.

4. Now return to the original pattern from step 1 (making a mirror image of the first side of the necklace). Check the length and adjust at either end if needed.

5. Build the sections pictured. For the bottom dangle use a headpin. For the other sections use the 22g Hard wire. For a more detailed look at the layout of the dangles see our illustrated instructions
