This project makes for a 7.25 inch bracelet. If you want a longer or shorter one, adjust your supplies and the instructions accordingly. The actual chain accounts for 6 inches of the bracelet and the strand reducers/clasp add another 1.25 inches. You will also need a ruler for this project.
- Begin by cutting your gemstone chain into 3 pieces, 6 inches long each. You will need to measure each length out, there will be a little bit of chain left over.
- Open a jump ring and attach it to the loop on one end of one cut piece of chain. Also link this same jump ring onto the side hole of one of your strand reducers. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step on the other side of your chain with another jump ring, attaching this one to the side hole on your second strand reducer. Please take note that there is a textured and smooth side to your strand reducers, you will want to make sure you connect them to the chain with either both the textured sides or both the smooth sides facing up.
- Repeat the step above with your second chain, attaching it to the middle holes in your strand reducers. Repeat with your third piece of chain, attaching it to the last remaining side holes of your strand reducers.
- Open a jump ring and connect it to the loop on one side of your box clasp as well as the outside loop on one of your strand reducers. Close the jump ring.
- Repeat the step above with another jump ring, attaching the other other side of your bracelet to the other side of the clasp.
- All done! Enjoy your pretty new bracelet.
