These necklaces are easy to make & are great for layering together for a statement-making look, or just wearing a couple if you like to keep it simple. I especially love using the paperclip chain for these necklaces- it makes it super easy to hang charms from!

Supplies you’ll need:

Assorted styles of chain, small gemstones, seed beads, charms, 24 gauge wire, jump rings, lobster clasps.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

For the first necklace, begin with two 7" pieces of chain. Use a jump ring to attach the carnelian link to the two pieces of chain. Cut the chain about half way up. Make 2 bead links with the carnelian 4mm rounds & attach the links directly to each side of the chain. Finish by attaching a jump ring & lobster clasp to the ends.

Step

Step 2

Use the wire to make bead links with the gemstones & seed beads. Attach the links throughout your desired lengths of chain (either attach them directly to the chain links or attach with jump rings). These necklaces are 21" & 23" long.

Step

Step 3

Use jump rings to attach charms to your desired lengths of chain. These necklaces are 16.5" & 21" long.
