Create crystal drop for the end of the extension chain by adding 1 – Peridot AB 6x4mm Crystal Rondelle, 1 – Antique Silver-Plated 2x6mm 6-Point Flower Bead Cap, and 1 – Old Lace 3mm Glass Pearl to a ball pin. Using a pair of round nose pliers create a 90° bend in the ball pin above the crystal. Holding the ball pin where you created the bend wrap the ball pin around the pliers to create a loop. Then wrap the ball pin around itself below the loop as many times as you can. Trim the excess ball pin you could not wrap around.

Twist open one 5mm jump ring. Add the loop of the crystal drop you just created and the last loop of one end of the cable chain. Twist the jump ring closed.

Assemble Bracelet
Twist open one 5mm jump ring. Add the loop of the lobster clasp and the loop of one of the Antique Silver-Plated 16x24mm 3-Loop Ornate Connector. Twist the jump ring closed.

Twist open one 5mm jump ring. Add the loop of the other Antique Silver-Plated 16x24mm 3-Loop Ornate Connector and the last loop of the extension chain that does not have the dangle. Twist the jump ring closed.

You are done!! This pattern makes a bracelet that is adjustable 8 to 10 inches. To make the bracelet shorter be sure to remove the same number of beads from each length of Buddy Braids!
