"This is John Mendez with Expert Village and I am going to show you how to connect your pieces together with your jump rings. But before we do that we are going to talk about putting some crystals on there. These are Swarovski crystals. These are very small. They are faceted rounds and they are two millimeter beads. You wouldn't think that that bead would fit on beading chain but it actually does, the hole is large enough so you can go ahead and just put one on your chain. I will show you how it looks. Sometimes it's hard to find the hole because it's so small and so hard to hold because they are very slippery but they do fit. And what we are going to do is we are just going to add that maybe three or four of them to each one of these links, just to give it a little color, a little sparkle. So we have finished one end and I have the other end that's not connected and we are going to open it up and just put, I will say four of those beads on just to give it a little shine. So there is one, two, three, and four. And you can hold it up and see if you like four, or if you like three, or if you like just two and this is the look that I wanted to get. So in the next step I will show you how to connect it, put your connector on the other end once more and then we will start linking all of these chain pieces together to create a full necklace."
