3. Insert folded section of mesh into the ‘c’ crimp end and then use flat-nose pliers to close it tight around the mesh. Repeat the same with the opposite end of mesh.

4. Feed one bead cap, one crystal red magma bead followed by another bead cap onto copper head pin. Make a wrapped loop on top of bead. Trim excess wire.

5. Feed one bead cap followed by a crystal pearl onto the pin. Make a simple loop on top of pearl and then trim excess wire.

6. Open loop next to bead cap of the pearl link and then attach to crystal dangle. Close it back carefully. 

7. Open loop next to pearl bead and then attach to one of the pieces of mesh through loops of ‘c’ crimp. Close it gently.

8. Open 4mm jump ring , attach to the other ‘c’ crimp loop of brown mesh section and then to plain lever back. Close it gently.
