On the hammered round link, use a jump ring to add add the pear shape crystal. On the hammered round link, wrap a head pin with a 4mm crystal, a bead cap, and a 6mm crystal. Take your lotus charm and use your cutters to cut the soldered ring into a jump ring. Place the charm on the round link. This design also makes a beautiful necklace; just keep adding to the pattern until it is the length desired! Suggested Supplies
