1. Make the slender chain by creating long glass beads with eye pins, and joining the units together (figure A).

   
   

2. Put a jump ring in the center of the chain and attach the two ends to a single jump ring .

   
   

3. Use this jump ring to attach the lobster clasp.

   
   

4. Make the small dangles with a jump ring, some chain, and the charms.

   
   

5. Attach the dangles to the opening of the lobster clasp (figure B).

   
   

6. The dangles can be added or removed; you can also attach the jump ring from the center of the chain to convert the necklace to a choker.
