Add the Clasp: Secure the toggle clasp within the loop of seed beads, ensuring an even distribution on both sides.
Continue Beading: String seed beads, alternating with crystals and other embellishments as desired, to create a textured and richly colored design.
Create the Tassel: Towards the end of the necklace, add a tassel using crystal teardrops and rondelles for a cascading effect.
