Step 2: Cut the head off of 26 headpins (not the ball-end head pins) then, using round-nose pliers, form a simple loop on one end of each pin.

Insert the straight end of one pin through the top openings of one 10mm-sew on setting. Form a simple loop so the loops rest close to the sides of the setting.

Step 5: Thread a rose water opal bicone bead to a ball tip headpin. Form a wrapped loop. Before wrapping, connect the formed loop to one loop of the 2-loop setting. Complete the wrap to secure the bead drop to the setting.

Repeat to add a bicone drop to each 2-loop setting.

Step 6: Use an oval jump ring to connect the last loop of one air blue opal setting on one end, to the first jump ring in the rose water opal chain. Use an oval jump ring to connect the cup chain end piece of the light sapphire and light rose rhinestone chains to the first jump ring in the rose water opal chain. Position the jump rings so the air blue opal chain rests above the rhinestone chains, which lie above the rose water opal chain.

Repeat, connecting the other ends of the chains together.

Add 3 2-loop settings to the left of the 2-loop setting just added. Repeat to add 3 2-loop settings to the right of the first 2-loop setting.

Step 8: Cut a length of chain that will extend the necklace to a length that suits you. Cut the length of chain so one half is a few links shorter that the other half. Use a jump ring to connect the toggle ring to the shorter length of chain. Use an oval jump ring to connect the toggle bar to the longer length of chain. Use oval jump rings to connect each half of chain to either half of the necklace.
