Instructions:

1. String one 8mm clear crystal onto a head pin and place it in the center of the double circle pendant.
    
2. Pass the head pin through the drilled holes and make a wrapped loop above the pendant to connect the head pin to an enhancer bail.
    
3. Pass one end of the beading wire under the head pin inside the smaller channel on the pendant--work directly from the spool--do not cut the beading wire).
    
4. String 14 golden shadow crystals onto the beading wire and pass the end under the head pin and through the first four beads to form a circle.
    
5. Cut the wire.
