It's not really too difficult to make, but I'm not sure how to explain it :]
But I've made a few of these & I thought I'd do a how-to

You Will Need (3 things)
- Chain
- Pendant
- Ring Base
Steps (11 steps, 20 minutes)
-
1
What you need:
-Chains
-Ring Base
-Pendant
-Jump Rings
-Jewelry Pliers
-Lobster Claw -
2
Glue pendant to ring base
(I switched to a silver cross instead of gold) -
3
Connect the chain & the pendant with a jump ring
-
4
Measure how long you want the connecting chain to be - I made mine about 15cm, but ended up shortening it later on to about 13cm
-
5
These chains are for the bracelet part - measure your wrist around and decide how loose you want it to be.
Don't make it too loose because the hand chain part might twist & you'll be adding extra space with the jump rings for the lobster claw -
6
Start cutting more chains roughly the same size.
I put them onto a pin so I can keep them together, maintain the size & keep track of the pattern I wanted.silver, silver, gold, bronze, black, bronze, gold, silver, silver...etc
-
7
Start attaching the bracelet chains to the hand chain one by one every link
-
8
Keep going until you're satisfied with the amount of chains you have.
Separate them in the middle :) -
9
Gather them onto one jump ring in order & then add another jump ring
-
10
Do the same thing to the other side & put a lobster claw clasp
-
11
Attach & wear :D
