1. Select few beads and lay them out onto a flat surface, as you would assemble them in a necklace. Its very important to first get an idea on how you intend your jewelry piece to look like. Once you are satisfied with the layout or design, I suggest click a picture with your mobile or camera for reference.
2. Now without disturbing the layout, pull out few chains and try to match them with this layout. The reason being, some chains look very beautiful but do not go along with all types of beads. So, I suggest to put chains one by one (or the few selected ones) next to beads in a circular fashion and then decide which one will complete this jewelry piece in a more elegant way.
3. Never think that I have so many beads, my chain or findings will never show up. Consider all possibilities and hairstyles for e.g., what if a girl wore your piece of jewelry with a hair bun style. The jewelry at the back of the neck will be visible to all in that case. So, be very careful with your chains and findings as you are careful while selecting beads.
4. Now comes the assembling part. You can use the photo taken earlier while assembling so that no mistakes are done. Once you have all beads in the chain, match it with photo. Check the length (usually I go for 19 inches min). Once you are completely happy with the layout and length, then only cut the chain and seal the ends with findings.
5. Its good to keep few jump rings at the both ends of the chain to provide an extra adjustable length. Another alternative is to ask your client directly if they are happy with the length or want it to be adjusted and then accordingly add jump rings.
