Instructions
Cut eight 1/2 inch sections of 4mm gold-finished long-and-short chain.
Create a link by threading one 6mm vintage rose Crystal Passions® pearl onto a 1-1/2 inch 24-gauge gold-plated eye pin. Finish the eye pin with a small simple loop. Repeat to make a total of seven links.
Attach one 1/2 inch section of chain to each side of a link. Continue adding links and chain sections until all seven links are connected in a row with chain sections between and outside of them.
Using a 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated jump ring, attach a 9x4mm gold-plated lobster claw clasp to one end of the bracelet. Attach a 5.5mm 18-gauge gold-plated jump ring to the opposite end.
Cut one 10-inch length of 0.019-inch 49-strand Dijon gold Accu-Flex® professional-quality beading wire.
String onto the beading wire: one 2mm sterling silver crimp tube and one Accu-Guard™ wire protector. Pass the beading wire back through the crimp. Pull the beading wire so the crimp rests snug against the Accu-Guard, leaving approximately 1/4 inch of beading wire on the end. Crimp then trim the excess from the short end of the beading wire. Finish with a 4mm gold-plated crimp cover.
String beads in the desired pattern.
Secure the opposite end of the bracelet using the same crimping method.
Using a 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated jump ring, attach a 9x4mm gold-plated lobster claw clasp to one end of the bracelet. Attach a 5.5mm 18-gauge gold-plated jump ring to the opposite end.
Cut one 7-inch length of 2.3mm gold-finished paperclip chain.
Using a 4mm 20-gauge gold-plated jump ring, attach a 9x4mm gold-plated lobster claw clasp to one end of the chain. Attach a 5.5mm 18-gauge gold-plated jump ring to the opposite end.
