Instructions:
1. Prepare Apoxie clay following label instructions.
2. Rub gilder’s paste on top of clay immediately after clay been inside of clay.
3. Begin adding components following pattern below:
a- first work with metal components. Add TC clover link and six stabilizers beads, and then add one gold-plated bail into top middle area and the other bail on the bottom right of clover link. Leave the loops out of clay.
Use picture as guidance.
b. Place black diamond rivoli inside of clover link and topaz rivoli on right top corner of bezel. Make sure the edges off the stones are set into the clay.
c. Begin adding the little crystal chatton stones as you like it.
d. Place a single chatton stone inside of TC stabilizer beads.
4. String black diamond bicone onto a gold-plated head pin. Make a half of loop and slide it onto of the bail ring and finish loop. Repeat the same with other bail loop adding the two beads left.
5. Cut seven strands of leather. Slide bejeweled pendant onto the strand of leather, altogether. Find the middle of it and place the bezel in.
6. Holding all strands together tighten a single knot on each side of pendant.
7. Slide TC gold-plated spacer beads using two strands of leather. The next spacer should go through one of the same strands from previous step and a new strand of leather. Continue playing with that until you have 6 spacer beads strung on.
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 to make the other half of necklace.
9. Cut a 6-inch piece of wire and start wrapping all the leather cord ends together and flat. Wrap it around five turns and then trim the shorter piece of wire.
10. Feed a cone end through the long piece of wire. Make sure all strands of leather are tightened and inside of cone end. Make half loop, slide half portion of toggle clasp and then finish wrapping at least 3 times around its base. Trim excess wire.
11. Repeat the same to finish the other half of necklace.
