I'm trying to get into jewelry making, but there's a particular style that I'm most interested in making that I can find little to NO information on at all.

I've done some beaded pieces, but mostly I want to use crystal and chain. I've tried searching for it, but I keep getting results dealing with chainmail. Nono, just regular chain. This is the style that I want to work with; can anybody tell me exactly what I would need to create something like this? For instance, the piece that the crystals are all set in. Help would be much appreciated! :D

[edit: Still need help! Please look!] So, thanks to the comments so far, I've figured out that, basically, what I want to do would be glorified chandelier earrings. I've looked at some tutorials and realized that it's pretty much the same thing, but on a larger scale, in the form of necklaces, headpieces, whathaveyou. Primarily pieces using chainmail, wire, chain and crystals. What I need help with now is how to go about using filigree components like this. Exactly how would you go about attaching crystals to something like that? I mean in the center of the piece, not dangling down.
