Here's the material you'll need for this tutorial.
Start by cutting 2 pieces of 17cm chain and 6 pieces of 2.5cm chain with wire cutters.
Assemble the necklace closure by adding the clasp and extension chain using round open rings and 2 flat clips to each 17cm piece of chain.
Here's how to assemble the necklace. Use 2 flat pliers and the small oval rings to make the assembly.
For your information, the central spacer with the white zircon already has open rings, so all you have to do is thread the chain through it and close the rings.
Once all the spacers and chain pieces have been assembled, your waterfall necklace is ready! Don't forget to hang the pom-pom pendant for an original finish :)
