Instructions:

1. Cut two strands of .014 Soft Touch™ Wire from the spool, one about 20” and the other about 22”.
2. On the shorter strand of wire, string 3 – 3x4 Green Garnets, and 1 – 5mm Hessonite Garnet.
3. Repeat the pattern (“section“) in step 3 - 14 more times.
4. Now add a Mother of Pearl Leaf.
5. Next, add 3 – 3x4 Green Garnets, 1 – 5mm Hessonite Garnet, and 3 more 3x4 Green Garnets.
6. Add another Mother of Pearl Leaf.
7. Repeat steps 6 and 7.
8. Now, repeat string 3 – 3x4 Green Garnets and 1 – Hessonite Garnet.
9. Repeat step 9 – 14 more times. This strand is now complete but still needs to be crimped with the second strand. Clip a Bead Stopped onto the strand to keep beads from falling off until the second strand is ready to crimp.
10. String the following beads onto the second strand of wire: 3 – 2x3 Green Garnets, and 1 – 4mm Hessonite Garnet.
11. Repeat step 11 – 47 more times to complete the strand.
12. Now, unclip the first strand from the Bead Stopper and string the two strands through a 2mm x 2mm Sterling Silver Crimp tube, through the other end of the clasp, and back through the crimp. Secure crimp using crimping pliers and cut off excess wire using Flush Cutters.
