Cut the cable chain into one 2" piece and one 4" piece. Using a 5mm jump ring, add one 6090 Baroque Pendant to the center link of each chain and set aside.
To create the center of the necklace, use one bicone link and attach it to the jump ring linking together the two Bangalore Links on the right side of the main necklace strand. Now attach a Tiled Metalwork Link to the other end of that bicone link. Using a 5mm jump ring, attach one end of both chain components (from the previous step) and attach to the other end of the Tiled Metalwork Link. Repeat this for the opposite side of the inner necklace strand.
To finish the necklace, attach a jump ring to one end of the necklace and using another jump ring attach the lobster clasp.
Optional: Use reliefing block on Vintaj components to give a look of more depth and color variation.
