- Connect the large flat gemstone link to the center of the two chains. Next connect an acrylic link to one side of the gemstone on the 5-inch chain. Connect the other end of the link to the 7 1/4-inch chain, leaving a wider gap between where the links are attached.
- Repeat this for the remaining beaded links. After connecting the end links, there should be approximately two remaining at both ends of each chain.
