African Amethyst Snaptite Necklace
This jewellery making project couldn't be easier! Our snaptite settings are so easy to set and perfect for beginners, making them so popular.
We've used our best selling dark amethyst stones with sparkly black rope chain for this look but you can choose any faceted stones and chain you like!
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place the faceted stone face down (flat side down) onto a firm yet cushioned surface such as a bead mat placed on your worktop.
2. Place the mount over the stone and apply gentle pressure to 'click' the stone into place.
3. Check that the claws are firmly in place - it may be necessary to gently adjust the claws with a pusher to ensure a secure fit.
4. Thread the chain through the pendant bail to complete the look!
It's as simple as that!
RECOMMENDED TOOLS FOR THIS PROJECT
Stone holder - perfect for gripping small stones
Pusher - to ensure the claws are secure around the stone
