Step one: Cut a length of cable chain to fit your wrist. In this example we used approximately 6¼ inches.
Step two: Attach the chain to the clasp using open jump rings. Remember when using jump rings to pull the two ends apart in a side to side direction.
Step three: Using the head pins and the wrapped loop technique, attach the pearls to the chain. For detailed instructions on how to make a wrapped loop, please visit How to make a wrapped loop under Jewelry Wire in our Handy Tips section. To keep the bracelet from looking too cluttered, allow 2 links on either side of the 12mm pearls and 1 for the smaller pearls. Use the 3 inch headpins for the 12mm pearls and the 1 ½ inch headpins for the smaller pearls.
Approximate Length: 7½ inches Approximate Cost: Under $30
