Repeat whole sequence once and add 5 center piece freshwater pearls.  You are now halfway through making your necklace. Reverse the order of the spacers on the other half of the necklace.  1) Rondelle, pearl, rondelle, pearl, rondelle, 4 freshwater pearls, rondelle, pearl, rondelle, 5 pearls 2) Repeat one more and you are through stringing the necklae
	Pull the wire tight, and crimp a jump ring onto the other end of the necklace.  Be sure to pull your thread through the last few beads before trimming.
	Enlarge the jump ring that comes with the lobster claw and slip it onto the jump ring.  Be sure to twist the jump ring open by pulling back on it.  Do not open it in a sideways manner.
	Close your jump ring.  I usually use my round nose pliers to start closing the ring, then secure it with my crimp tool.
	This is how your finished product will look.
