These instructions will give you a bracelet that is 6.5 inches. To adjust the length, simply modify the length of chain needed.
- Begin by stringing one tigers eye gemstone onto one eye pin. Make a simple wire loop. Set aside. Repeat this step five more times.
- Take the foot of chain, and open the center link between two bars. Open the link, the same way you would a jump ring. Bring the two ends of the length of chain together. Close the link.
- You should now have 7 bars on top and 7 bars on bottom.
- To one end, open one jump ring and attach one side of the magnetic clasp. Repeat on the other side.
- Take one eye pin with the tigers eye, open one loop, same as you would a jump ring, and attach it to the center link between two bars of chain. Close the loop. Repeat this for the bottom of this eye pin. (See photo for reference)
- You will repeat the above step for the remaining gemstones moving across the chain.
