This necklace measures approximately 18 inches. To modify the length, simply add or subtract links.
  1. Please watch our video: How to Embellish Sequin Chain with Gemstone Beads. From what you have learned in this video begin by cutting the gold discs off of the chain by cutting the small jump rings in between.
  2. Then make the simple wire loops with the gemstone beads on them. And finally, connect them by opening and closing the loops, same as you would a jump ring. Continue until you have reached your desired length, and end with one gold disc on both sides of the necklace.
  3. To finish the look, open one jump ring and attach it to one of the final gold discs and to one lobster clasp. Close the jump ring. Then move to the other end of the necklace and attach one more jump ring to the final gold disc.
This is a great design to turn into longer necklaces, bracelets and even matching earrings.
