Now that you’re familiar with the basics, let’s get into some more complex designs. The very basic chain bracelet is a good place to start.

Here are some tips on how to make and care for your own:
Materials Needed:
- Chain Bracelet Materials (eBay link)
- Fold Over Clasp (eBay link)
- Jewelry Pliers (Amazon link)
- Crimp Tool(Etsy link)
The Double Chain Bracelet
- Use two different colored chains.

- Use a lobster claw clasp instead of the toggle, if you prefer.

The Charm And Beaded Chain Bracelet
The charm and beaded chain bracelet is a great way to take your jewelry skills to the next level. By adding charms and beads onto existing chain bracelets, you can create unique accessories that are sure to get noticed. This is also a great project for anyone who wants to learn how to work with wire as it offers an introduction into the world of wire wrapping.
The first step when making this bracelet is deciding what type of charms you would like to use. Some good options include:
- A single charm: choose something small enough not to overwhelm the rest of your design but large enough that it stands out from the background (you could even try using two different types of charms together).
- Multiple charms: if you are looking for something bolder then try using multiple charms together in one design. You can mix them up by color or by material type so long as they all look good together! If possible try choosing items that complement each other well such as matching metals/gems/stones etcetera; otherwise go with whatever appeals most strongly at first glance!
The Color-Coded Chain Bracelet
A color-coded chain bracelet is a simple DIY project that can be made at home. This is a fun project for kids, as they can help you pick out the colors of their choice. You may also want to use up excess chains from other projects.
