Stage 1

Measure and cut two 20cm lengths of chain, a 3cm, a 3.5cm a 4cm and a 4.5cm length, set the shorter lengths aside. Attach a 5mm jump ring with a trigger clasp to the end of one 20cm length and a 5mm jump ring to the other end. Attach a 5mm jump ring to each end of the other 20cm length of chain.

Stage 2

Onto an eyepin thread a black diamond xilion, bend the pin at a right angle to the eye. Add a light rose xilion, bend at a right angle, next a black diamond, bend add a light rose xilion. Trim the eyepin 1cm above the bead, thread through the eye of the eyepin, bend into a loop and close. Repeat to make a second square. Make a third only using light rose xilion. Set aside.

Stage 3

Cut the metre length of tiger tail in half. Set one aside. Thread on four light rose xilion, move to the centre of the wire. Pass the right hand thread back through the first bead from left to right. Pull tight.

Stage 4

Thread on two light rose xilion onto the left hand side and one on the right. Pass the right hand thread back through the first bead from left to right, pull tight. Repeat.

Stage 5

Thread on a light rose xilion to each side, and a crimp onto the right hand side. Pass both lengths through the xilion at the bottom of the beaded section, thread the left hand length through the crimp and pull tight. Squeeze the crimp flat, thread the ends through a few beads, trim excess. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to make a black diamond cluster.
Attach the top of each multi coloured square (between the two xilion) to the jump rings on the 20cm lengths of chain. Attach a 5mm jump ring to each loop at the bottom of the square.

Stage 6

Join these jump rings with another 5mm jump ring. Attach a jump ring to the top of the light rose square and join to the previous jump ring.
Add a jump ring to the bottom loop of the square (between the two xilion), loop through the black diamond cluster over the crimp.
Attach a jump ring to the bottom of the cluster and through the light pink cluster. Thread all of the short chain lengths onto a jump ring, attach to the bottom of the pink cluster over the crimp.

Stage 7

This is what your finished set should look like.
