  Step 1

  Cut about 12" transparent wire with the jewelry cutter.Take a crimp bead in the wire,leaving about 2-3" wire on one end,take the flat plyer and press the crimp firmly.

• 

  Step 2

  The crimp acts as a stopper for the beads so that they do'nt slide out.The crimp bead will now look flat and squarish.

• 

  Step 3

  Take 3 seed beads in the wire after the crimp bead.

• 

  Step 4

  Pass the other end of the wire through 2 beads,so that 2 beads are on the top and one below,to look like a triangle.

• 

  Step 5

  Pull the wire tight and add another crimp bead after the beads.Press the crimp with the flat plyer.

• 

  Step 6

  Depending on how close or far you want the next set,take a crimp again leave some distance and press the crimp with the flat plyer.I left a little more than half an inch distance between 2 sets.
  Repeat with the beads again as in the first set and crimp again.Keep leaving distance and repeat till the length required.
  The 3 lengths will vary,1st one short,2nd one longer and the third one longest.
  Once the 3 strands are made,put them together with the ends of the wire passing through a crimp,a seed bead and crimp again.Pass through the 3 again to make a loop.Press the crimps with the plyer.Cut the remaining extra wires as close to the crimp for a neat finish.Take 4 jump rings linked together through the loop on one end and just one jump ring on the other end of necklace.To make the S shaped hook,all i did was to take a head pin,cut the head part and bent the wire to form an S with the round nose plyer.

  Step 7

  This is what the end result looks like,the transparent wire give the illusion of the beads floating!

  Step 8

  You can make the length of the necklace longer if you want.
