Stage 1

Cut approximately 1m of wire. Wrap the wire around the link three times; leaving a tail of 4cm (you need this later on). Thread a drop onto the long length of the wire.

Stage 2

Pull the wire as tight as possible and wrap the wire around the link three times to secure the drop in place.

Stage 3

Continue to add drops in the same way until you have added eleven drops and you have reached your starting point. Thread the 16mm olive pearl onto both ends of the wire and wrap tightly around the opposite side of the link to secure the pearl. Trim any excess wire.

Stage 4

Thread a 12mm pearl onto an eyepin, trim 1cm above the pearl. Bend into a loop, attach to the loop of a second eyepin and close the loop. Thread on a 12mm pearl. Repeat until you have one length of nineteen pearls and a second length of six pearls.

Stage 5

Open the loop of an eyepin and attach to the link between two drops, close the loop. Trim the eyepin 1cm above the drops, bend the very end into a loop and close. Attach a second eyepin in the same way five drops along from the first.

Stage 6

Attach one end of the longer length of pearls to one of the eyepins on the flower section, and the shorter length to the other eyepin. Attach a jump ring with a trigger clasp to one end of the pearls and a jump ring to the other.

Stage 7

This is what your finished set should look like.
