Cut a 6½" piece of 16g wire. Mark 2½" from
one end of the wire with a Sharpie. Starting at the
marked point, use round nose pliers to create a
wrapped loop. Wrap around the base wire once.
1
Cut approximately 14' of 20g wire. Coil the
wire around a mandrel to create a 10½" coil. Work
directly from the spool of wire if you prefer.
2
Cut the coil into seven 1½" segments. Save one
segment for the clasp.
4
Slide on the coiled segment, and make a
wrapped loop on the opposite end. Wrap around
the base wire once.
5
With the tip of the round nose pliers, create a
small loop. Grasp the loop with lat nose pliers and
spiral the wire inward until it touches the coiled
segment. Repeat on the opposite end.
6
With your ingers, press the coiled wire around
the spirals to create an S-shaped curve. Make three
coiled links.
7
Repeat Steps 3–6 to create three more links,
but make the orientation of the wrapped loops
in the opposite direction this time, in the mirror
image.
8
To make the clasp, cut 4½" of 16g wire. Make a
small loop on one end with the tips of the round
nose pliers. Center the loop. Slide on the remaining
1½" coil.
9
Holding the wire so that the small loop faces
you, make a wrapped loop at the top of the coil.
Form a spiral all the way until it ends on top of the
coil. Press the spiral down slightly.

Gently press the coil around a ball point pen
to create the hook.
11
With a piece of 16g wire, create a simple
igure eight using the base of the round nose pliers.
12
To make lampwork links, take a 5" piece of
18g wire (6" for the focal), and string two spacers, a
lampwork disc, and two more spacers. be sure to
leave enough room on the wire to complete the
wrapped loops in the next step. Repeat with the
remaining lampwork discs. Make loops on both
sides of each link.

Lay out the necklace components starting with the focal tab in the center, and alternate the scroll
links with the lampwork links. Ensure that the coiled links are in a mirror image of each other on both sides
of the necklace. Attach the lampwork discs by making wrapped loops on the ends of their wires. Attach
the jump ring and hook to one end of the necklace, and the igure eight eye to the other side. Oxidize the
piece with liver-of-sulfur, polish with steel wool, and tumble for 45 minutes if you desire.
