This project makes an approximately 7 inch bracelet. If you want a longer bracelet, you have two choices. You can make it longer by adding extra jump rings near the clasp and creating a small "chain" of jump rings. Enough jump rings come with your supplies to make at least an extra inch. You can also opt to purchase a second strand of pearls and create more pearl links.
- To make this bracelet and earring set, please watch the video: How to Make the Jessa Earrings using Link Connector Chain.
- This video will show you how to make the earrings. Please make them as shown in the video.
- The video will also show you the construction of the bracelet, please refer to the video and also follow the instructions below.
- Create 19 pearl links with eye pins. Separate out 20 (by cutting the jump ring between) chain links.
- As seen in the video, create one pearl/chain link segment in the following order: pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl. Now create two pearl/chain link segments in the following order: link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link, pearl, link.
- Separate the two halves of your tube clasp. Use jump rings to attach the pearl/link chain segments to each side of the clasp. The two chain segments that end in links should be on the outer two loops of the chain with the segment that ends in pearls in the middle. Please look at the video or photo for reference.
- Enjoy!
