To the end double ring attach a ring, like A ([Fig. 36]); to A add a chain of four rings like B ([Fig. 36]). This gives you just half of the necklace, for the single ring is to be the middle one. Make the other half in the same way, starting on the opposite side of the single ring and slipping ring into ring as you did before. Attach the ring pendant, C ([Fig. 37]), to the single ring between the two side rings, then add the pendant. Fasten the two halves of the pendant together by folding the two points of the catch inward, slipping the catch through the slit and then spreading the points out again flat. This makes a very secure fastening and, unless the neck of the catch is too slender, it will neither break nor pull apart.

[Fig. 41] is the clasp for the necklace. Cut it out like the pattern and make it about three inches long. Slip one end of the clasp through the last ring on one end of the necklace, the other end of the clasp through the last ring on the other end of the necklace, then bring the clasp together and slip the catch through the slit, as in [Fig. 42]. The photograph ([Fig. 43]) shows how pretty the necklace is when finished.
The Coronet
The coronet shown in the illustration of the "Little queen" is cut in one piece ([Fig. 44]). At the widest part, from top to bottom, it is three inches wide, and the ends may be lengthened or shortened to fit any head. The ends must meet and fasten at the back.
