Reminiscent of the rain chains that adorn all the best homes, the blue of water and beaded chain make the most adorable watch band you will ever wear!
Step one: Use chain nose pliers to remove the spring bars on one side of the silvertone round rope watch face. Slide on a silver Kenyan heishi spacer, two 4mm Ceylon pastel blue cube Toho beads and another spacer. Put the bar back onto the watch.
Step two: Cut a 2½ inch piece of silver-plated rounded square link chain. You will want to cut the chain so that each end begins and ends with the tiny ring. Attach a sterling silver open jump ring to both ends of the chain and connect one end to the spring bar in-between the spacer and the Toho. Leave the other end free for now. Cut another piece of chain and repeat for the opposite side of the spring bar.
Step three: Cut a 7-inch piece of ZambaPro 49 .019 jewelry wire and wrap it around the spring bar in-between the two Tohos. On both strands string three round frosted silver-lined dark aqua Toho beads, a pewter antique silver faceted spacer, a deep aqua glass bamboo bead, spacer, three Tohos, spacer, bamboo bead, spacer three Tohos and a cube Toho. Use a sterling silver 2x2mm crimp tube to crimp to the center ring on one end of the bar clasp. Cover the crimp tube with a sterling silver crimp cover. For help using crimp tubes and crimp covers please visit the Handy Tips section in the Learning Center.
Step four: Use the jump rings on the ends of the chain sections to connect the chain to the outside loops of the bar clasp.
Step five: Repeat the steps for the other side of the watch.
