Designer Tip: Thread each of the sea glass beads. For four of the peridot beads, form the loop slightly higher than the top of the bead, leaving about 1/16 inch of straight head pin below the loop. Form a simple loop at the top of the remainder of the beads as usual. Attach a 4mm jump ring to both ends of all three Dorabeth links. Cut the chain into 4 lengths with a filigree component at one end, three additional filigree components, and 9 fine chain links at the other end. Arrange them in pairs, reversing the direction of the second chain segment in a pair. Attach the ends of the pairs together using 4mm jump rings. Attach a small Dorabeth link to the 4mm jump ring attached to one pair of chain segments using a 6mm jump ring, adding one each blue, longer peridot, and green dangles to the 6mm ring. Make sure the dangles are oriented to the bottom of the Dorabeth link. Attach the other end of the small link to the medium link with another 6mm jump ring. This time, add one each blue, green, long peridot, green and regular peridot dangles to the ring, again ensuring the dangles are oriented towards the bottom of the 6mm jump ring. Repeat for other side. Attach the clasp to the 4mm jump ring at one end of the necklace using another 4mm jump ring; attach a 6mm jump ring to the 4mm jump ring at the other end of the necklace.
