I have a jewelry DIY for you guys today! It's a simple chunky chain bracelet or necklace that was inspired by Alex of HRH Collection.
Supplies:
- Curb Chain - I used a 19mm gold chain found at a local trimming/beading store.
- Closure - I used a snap -in/clip-in closure, you can also use leather or suede cords to tie it together.
- Pliers (sorta optional) - If you use a thick chain like me, you should use regular pliers instead of small jewelry pliers. You can actually pull apart the link if you're strong enough
I buy most of my supplies at the beading/jewelry district. I couldn't find this particular chain that I used online, but there's a similar 16mm chain available at Toho Shoji. You'll find it under chains on the menu to the left and then under curb chains. Another online source that I often use is Fusion Beads.
XOXO, M
Very creative.
ReplyDeleteThese look super awesome! I love it, and I think I might try it. I'll lace a ribbon through the links or a few smaller chains. I think that would be a nice effect :) Maybe even see if I can get some charms inside the links. Sparsely of course cause the big chains are chunky on their own!
ReplyDeleteI hope you remember me! I haven't been around the blogging scene for AGES, but I used to write Cosmetic Fixation on blogspot... I moved it to my own domain now. Hope you can check it out! Here's Cosmetic Fixation today :D
