11. Make a wrapped hook clasp, and attach it to one side of the necklace Make sure not to close the wrapped loop on the hook until you slip the chain section's loop into it.

12. For the final step, double check all areas of your chain where the wire is wrapped to ensure the wire is not rough to the touch. If it is, use a jeweler's file to smooth these out and chain-nosed pliers to press the wire wrapped ends down so that they are flush against the wire sections and not sticking out. There is a lot of wire wrapping going on here, and you don't want the wire to cut or scratch you when you wear the necklace.
