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 gemstone onto one eye pin. Make a simple wire loop. Set aside. Repeat this step five more times.
- Take the chain, and separate it so that you have two lengths of 7 bars. You can open the link, the same way you would a jump ring to separate them without cutting a link.
- Take one eye pin with a gemstone on it and 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 this step for the remaining gemstones moving across the chain.
- To one end, open one jump ring and attach one side of the magnetic clasp to the two end links. Close the jump ring. Repeat on the other side to finish the clasp.
