‘Purple’ … because of its unique position in the spectrum, the gemstone amethyst always conveys its own regal sophistication.
DESIGNER’S NOTE
I recommend wrapped loops for all of the loops in this necklace for security, particularly the ones attaching the toggle. Simple loops can be used instead, but the piece will not be as strong. STEP ONE Make an eyepin from the wire; before closing the loop put the last link of the chain onto it.
STEP TWO
Using the headpins, attach 2 x 4mm faceted rounds to each link in the chain, one on each side and end, with a single one on the link closest to the eyepin just placed. The single bead will face the front.
STEP THREE
Place floral cone on the eye pin and position it so the single bead on the top is facing the front and do a loop at the top making sure that the front of the loop points the same way that the top bead does so that the dangle will sit the right way.
