of the magnet barrel clasp in the same manner as in Step 1, cutting any
excess wire.

through a crimp tube, then through the loop of the round portion of the

back through the crimp tube, pulling taut and crimping the crimp tube.
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the other side of the necklace.
Select 4 topaz faceted glass beads and 4 amethyst faceted glass beads.
After stringing a single bead to each individual head pin, form a wrapped
loop and attach 4 dangles to each of the 2 jump rings. Attach one jump
ring with dangles to each of the 2 round toggle clasps.

attractive necklace with a pendant. Wear the watch face as a pendant to
the necklace by attaching the top toggle clasp of the watch face to the
lobster clasp on the necklace. To wear as a wrist watch, attach the watch
face to the watchband by connecting the two pieces together with the lobster
clasp of the watchband.
