Steps:

Create the two chain strands that connect to the center bead by linking the following pattern: 2 oval and 2 circles for a total of 6 ovals and 6 circles.
Finish each chain with a single oval.
Connect a link to each final oval and connect both of these to a single oval.
To create the center pendant make loop topped beaded head pins with four of each color bead.
Thread all of these into a 6mm jump ring and secure closed.
Thread the rectangular jump ring through the beaded jump ring, the center single oval connector on your chain and the 40mm pendant and secure with pliers.
Attach the clasp to one end of your chain using a 6mm jump ring and secure with pliers.
Make a matching pair of earrings using a single Quick Links circle and an oval connected with a beaded jump ring like you used on the necklace and attaching ear wires to the top circle with two 6mm jump rings.
