Bring vintage glamor to the modern world with this Rose Gold Romance Necklace pattern. This breathtaking DIY necklace design would look equally appropriate adorning the neckline of a gentlewoman in a 19th-century drawing room or gracing the collar of a modern-day starlet strolling the red carpet. The use of rose gold findings and filigree accents gives this piece an extra feminine touch, while the mix of pearls and faceted beads add equal parts sparkle and shine. Beading designs and patterns with such soft elegance are a rare gem, and this necklace pattern is certainly one to be treasured.

Instructions
-
Cut six 1-inch and one 2-1/2-inch lengths of chain.

Make the four 8mm pearl links and the four bead caps/10mm pearl links. Thread the bead(s) onto an eye pin and form a loop.
-
Link the chain and beaded links together as shown in the illustration. Attach one end of the chain/links to a chandelier using a jump ring. Attach the other end of the chain/links to the bar end of the toggle using a jump ring. Connect the round toggle end to a chandelier using a jump ring.
-
Cut a 7-inch and an 11-inch length of beading wire.
-
Use a crimp tube to attach the 7-inch wire to the inside loop of a chandelier. Thread the bead pattern onto the wire (use the smaller ovals). Use a crimp tube to attach the wire to the inside loop of the other chandelier.
-
Make the 10 oval beaded links (use the larger ovals). Link them together and attach the ends to the center links of the chandeliers.
-
Use a crimp tube to attach the 11-inch wire to the outside loop of a chandelier. Thread the bead pattern onto the wire (use the smaller ovals). Use a crimp tube to attach the beading wire to the outside loop of the other chandelier.
