Step 4
Measure the chain link that will go around the finger length.
(Mine measures 2 inches.)

Center the focal bead on the hand.

Measure two lengths of chain to connect one end to the ring and one to the wrist bracelet.

(Mine measures 3/4 of an inch from the ring to the bead, then 1 inch from the base of the bead to connect to the bracelet chain.)

Step 5:
Assembling the Bracelet

Assembling the Bracelet:

  • Connect the Center Chain: Use one jump ring to attach the ring chain to the center chain, placing the center chain between both ends of the ring chain. Close the jump ring.

  • Secure the Bead Loops: Use round nose pliers to close the loops on each end of the bead segment around the cut ends of the center chain.

  • Measure and Cut the Wrist Chain: Measure your desired bracelet length (mine is 5 inches) and cut the wrist chain accordingly.

  • Attach the Clasp: Open a jump ring, attach it to one end of the wrist chain along with the clasp, and close it securely.

  • Join the Wrist Chain to the Center Chain: Use a 5mm jump ring to connect the other end of the wrist chain to the center chain and close it tightly.

  • Create the Clasp Catch: Open a 6mm jump ring and attach it to the free end of the wrist chain. Then open an 8mm jump ring and attach it to the 6mm ring. Close both jump rings to finish the clasp connection.
