1 crystal ring, and one 4mm pearl; form a wrapped loop.

Use both ends of the wire to string 1 crimp tube. Snug the tube up to the crystal ring and crimp. Cover the tube with 1 crimp cover. 3 ] Repeat Step 2 using 24k gold wire and attaching it to the crystal ring below the garnet wire. Repeat Step 2 again, attaching another garnet wire to the crystal ring below the 24k gold wire. 4 ] Use one end of the first garnet wire to string one 6mm crystal round. Use the other end of the first garnet wire to string one 4mm crystal round. Use one end of the gold wire to string one 4mm pearl. Use the other end of the gold wire to string one 6mm pearl. Use one end of the second garnet wire to string one 4mm crystal round. Use the other end of the second garnet wire to string one 6mm crystal round.

Repeat entire step for the other garnet wire. 8 ] Use the gold wire to string one 4mm pearl, 1 crimp tube, one 6mm pearl, 1 crimp tube, one 4mm pearl, 1 crimp tube, and one 6mm pearl. Place a bead stop on the end of the wire. *Place the first crimp tube strung in this step 78" from the previous crimp tube; crimp and cover. Repeat from * twice using the remaining crimp tubes. 9 ] Remove the bead stops. Use all 3 wires to string 1 crimp tube. Place the tube 1" to 2" from the previous crimp tubes and crimp. Trim both garnet wires. Cover the tube with 1 crimp cover.
