Instructions
Step 1
Place 1 bead, 1 heart and 2 beads on the wire. The bottom bead should have the flat part of the cone next to the bottom of the heart bead and the 2 top beads have the flat edge next to each other.

Step 2
Using flat nose pliers turn up the wire end under the bottom bead into a small U shape and press it back on itself, making sure that this loop secures the bottom bead.

Step 3
At the top above the 2 beads start to make a wrapped loop. This loop needs to be large enough for the hammered circle to go through.

Place your flat nose pliers on the wire about 3mm from the top bead and make a 90 degree bend in the wire. Using your round nose pliers grab the wire just past the bend in the wire.

Using your fingers shape the wire towards you into a circle over the round jaw of the pliers till the wire crosses itself.

Slide the hammered ring into the loop and check you have the front of the ring facing to the front.

Step 4
Using your flat nose pliers hold the loop you just made and with the other hand use the chain nose pliers or your fingers to wrap the end of the wire around the wire stem above the pendant, keep wrapping right down to the top bead.

Trim any excess wire as close as possible to the wraps and tuck it in so there are no sharp edges.

Step 5
Using the small jump ring attach the trigger clasp to one end of the chain and a large jump ring to the other end. Open the other large jump ring and place the hammered circle and gold chain inside, close the jump ring.
