Sometimes I like to make simple bracelets with different types of chain. That way, I can layer them all together or wear them separately depending on my outfit. They take seconds to make and look great! author signature

You can use unique chain all on its own to create cool jewelry looks. Cynthia used Beadlinx chain, enameled chevron chain, and crystal cuplink chain to create simple and stylish bracelets. They are easily finished with magnetic clasps or the ends are linked together for a look that just slips on. Find your favorite chain styles to make variations on this look.

Cut a length of gold-plated brass chain with white enamel to the desired length for a bracelet, keeping in mind that the clasp will add about 3/4 of an inch in length. Attach each half of the 14K/20 gold-filled 4mm magnetic clasp to each end of the chain using a 14K/20 gold-filled 6mm 20.5 gauge open jump ring for each.

Cut a length of 11.5mm silver-plated cuplink chain in crystal to the desired length for a bracelet, keeping in mind that the clasp will add about 3/4 of an inch in length. Attach each half of the 6mm silver-plated round magnetic clasp to each end of the chain using a 925/10 silver-filled 5.5mm 18 gauge open jump ring for each.

Create the desired length of Beadlinx dark bronze glass rondelle beaded brass oxide chain by opening one of the loops on the links. When you have the desired length for a bracelet, attach the ends of the chain together. This bracelet should be big enough to slip over your hand.

Repeat the previous step to create another bracelet with the Beadlinx lumi brown fire-polished glass oval beaded antiqued gold-plated chain.
