    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all necessary beads, chain, needle, and thread. Create Beaded Link: Thread StormDuo beads in a "V" shape using seed beads and a 6mm gemstone in the middle. Attach Beaded Link to Chain: Connect the beaded link to the metal chain using thread, making sure the orientation is consistent. Calculate Necklace Length: Measure and cut chain sections, ensuring symmetry between links. Add Seed Bead Chain Extension: Create a seed bead chain by threading 11/0 seed beads and attaching them to the chain ends. Attach Clasp: Secure a Lobster clasp to the necklace using jump rings and reinforce the connection by passing the thread through the beads multiple times.
