Cut 26 inches 14ga wire. Find the middle of the wire and using your mandrel size 10mm create your 1st circle by coiling your wire onto the mandrel 2 times.

Then start forming 6 more circles, 3 on each side, adjusting the wire to form a diamond-like shape piece. Except for the 1st circle, the rest of the circles are created with only 1 coil.

After forming the circles you then twist the end wire to form a hook or bail.

Then using head pins attach crystals on each of the circles.
