Remove bubbles by approaching a lighter or gas lighter near the resin. Place the UV LED lamp over the pendant and light it for 1 minute. Put a little resin on top for a Brillantd effect, spread it with the toothpick and reapply the lamp.

2nd step :
Turn the pendant over, put a new layer of resin on the back, pass the lighter over it if necessary and apply the lamp on it.

Step 3:
Cut 38 cm of Cobra chain and 42 cm of convict mesh chain. In the center of the cable link, place the pendant with a small open ring in gold filled. At each end of the chain add a ring and on one of them the spring clasp.

Step 4:
Thread 15 PureCrystal pearls 3 mm on the Cobra chain. Sometimes you will need to force or remove the small bits that block the hole with a hand drill.

Step 5:
Apply the mini lace clips to the end of the Cobra chain and flatten them. Check that they are well fixed. Add the chain on the rings already attached to the cable mesh chain. Add a few rings on the end of the end without clasp if necessary.
