2) Top Strand -
        The number of pearls will vary by one or two per section. This is due to the variance in pearl size (4-4.5mm) and to allow the strands to separate.

        Cut a second 24" piece of Beadalon. String the following:
            20 - 22 Pearls
            String through existing Moon Face on middle strand

            String through existing Moon Face on middle strand
            20 - 22 Pearls
3) Bottom Strand -
        Repeat step 2.
4) Clasp - Ring
        Take all three strand at one end of the necklace, string on two crimp beads, loop through ring clasp and back through both crimp beads. Crush the crimp closest to clasp, cut Beadalon ends, slide second crimp over cut ends and crush.
5) Clasp - Bar
        Slide beads tightly against the ring clasp, now repeat step 4 on other end, with bar clasp.
