After finding a suitable necklace with large panels, I dismantled it in order to isolate the desired pieces. Then I removed the gold metallic surface with sandpaper and drilled several holes throughout the panels in order to give the crystals a better surface to grow on.
Once I prepared the ‘M4 Crystal Growing Experiment Kit’ base solution, I carefully added the seed crystals along with the altered necklace pieces in way that would promote cohesion.
Several days later when the crystals grew to the desired size and shape, I removed the pieces from the solution, rinsed them off, and reassembled the necklace.
