2 Instructions to complete Torrent necklace: Step 1 Place these beads in the following sequence onto one head pin, making one unit: 1 4mm Indicolite Crystal rondelle bead 1 12mm antique gold faceted teardrop bead (wide side first) 1 4mm antique silver faceted round bead Step 2 Turn a simple loop (see Simple Loop Technique) at the open end of the head pin. Cut the head pin, leaving 3/8 inch of wire. Bend the wire at the top of the bead to a right angle with chain nose pliers or your fingers. Grasp the end of the wire with round nose pliers so the wire is flush with the tool. Rotate the pliers to form a loop. Continue turning the wire until a complete loop is formed.

3 Step 3 Place these beads in the following sequence onto one head pin, making one unit: 1 6mm Light Turquoise Crystal round bead 1 6mm antique silver daisy bead cap (cupped side toward the previous bead) 1 4mm antique gold faceted round bead Step 4 Turn a simple loop (see Simple Loop Technique) at the open end of the head pin. Step 5 Place these beads in the following sequence onto one head pin, making one unit: 1 8mm Indicolite Crystal round bead 2 8mm antique gold flower petal bead cap (cupped side toward the previous bead) 1 4mm Indicolite Crystal rondelle bead

4 Step 6 Turn a simple loop (see Simple Loop Technique) at the open end of the head pin. Step 7 Place a 5mm antique gold rondelle bead onto one eye pin, making one unit. Turn a simple loop at the open end of the eye pin. Step 8 Using wire cutters, cut a 1-inch length of the 2mm gold chain.

5 Step 9 Attach the loop of the bead unit made in Steps 1-2 to one end of the chain. Step 10 Open one jump ring (see Opening and Closing a Jump Ring Technique). Attach the jump ring to the open end of the chain from Step 9, then attach the jump ring to the half oval open pendant. Close the jump ring. Step 11 Open one jump ring and use it to attach the 8mm antique silver faceted drop bead to the half oval open pendant. Close the jump ring.

6 Step 12 Open one jump ring and use it to attach the 41.5mm antique gold primitive drop pendant and the bead unit from Steps 3-4 to the half oval open pendant. Close the jump ring. Step 13 Open one jump ring and use it to attach the 37mm antique silver long faceted drop bead to one end of the bead unit from Step 7. Close the jump ring. Open a second jump ring and use it to attach the open end of the bead unit to the half oval open pendant. Close the jump ring. Step 14 Open one jump ring and use it to attach the bead unit from Steps 5-6 to the half oval open pendant. Close the jump ring.

7 Step 15 You now have attached all of the beads to the half oval open pendant. Step 16 Place one 4mm Indicolite crystal bicone bead onto one eye pin, making one unit. Turn a simple loop at the open end of the eye pin. Step 17 Repeat Step 16 with the following beads 5-4mm Indicolite crystal bicone beads 2-4mm Indicolite crystal bicone beads (make the loop large enough to accommodate the loop on the half oval open pendant.) 6-4mm Light Turquoise crystal bicone beads 2-6mm Light Turquoise crystal round beads

Step 20 Attach one 4mm Light Turquoise bicone bead unit from Step 17 to the previous bead unit.

9 Step 21 Repeat Step 20 attaching bead units from Step 17 to the previous bead unit alternating between 4mm Indicolite bicone beads and the 4mm Light Turquoise bicone beads. Step 22 Attach one ½-inch length of chain to the last 4mm Indicolite bicone bead from Step 21. Step 23 Attach one 6mm Light Turquoise round bead unit from Step 17 to the end of the chain.
