Make a Crystal and Chain Necklace
Materials Needed:
3 -12 inch pieces of sterling silver chain
17 headpins
68 4mm crystals
Toggle clasp
Tools:
Cutter pliers
Round nose pliers
The holidays are coming and it's time to bring out the sparkly jewelry. This piece can be a bracelet or a choker, it depends on how long you make it. For a fun twist, you can do a mix of pearls and crystals instead of just crystals.
Start about an inch into the chain. Take your pin, put on a crystal, put a piece of chain on (about one inch into your chain), and then another crystal, then next piece of chain (about one inch in), then crystal, then last piece of chain (about one inch in) and then crystal. Then using your round nose pliers you create a loop at the end. (see video). Then repeat this process about one inch down the chain. You should be able to do this 17 times until you reach the desired length. Then, using connectors, attach a piece of the toggle clasp to each side.

The grinder that is used to grind the lenses to the specifications of the prescription is called an edger. There is a constant source of water running over the lens while it is being ground in order to reduce the heat caused by friction on the glass.

The very beautiful and sliver jewelry who makes that people know how hard this work is and providing such a guide and explanation through video just made possible to anyone who want to create it itself.
