One of a Kind Sterling Silver and Crystal Chainmaille Bracelet
This is my first Chainmaille bracelet and I'm pleased with how this turned out. I took pictures throughout so I could document the making of this bracelet. It was fun and pretty easy, but definitely time consuming and the work is very detailed.
![]() This is the finished bracelet. It's made with sterling silver jump rings in 7mm, 6mm and 4 mm sizes.
The crystals are Swarsovski 8mm round crystals and these are all AB Crystals, which have a shinier look to them.
I thought the shimmering of the AB Crystals would work well with the silver.
![]() I used a Sterling Silver heart clasp and also added a tiny heart charm near the clasp.
![]() Perfect fit!
Making the Bracelet
![]() I began by weaving the 7mm and 6mm Sterling jump rings into a row. Since these are Sterling and they are small, they are very soft.
I had to be very careful not to damage the jump rings as I used the tools to get them together.
I continue to add rings until I get the length I want for my bracelet.
![]() ![]() Once I finished with one chain, I make another chain the exact same length.
![]() Then I begin to attach the two chains together.
![]() I continue adding jump rings until I have one bracelet.
![]() Now both of the chains are linked together and I have one bracelet. I'm ready to put on my clasps and start adding Crystals.
![]() ![]() Using Sterling Silver wire, I center a Crystal and make simple wrapped loops on both ends.
![]() Using the jump rings, I attach each Crystal to the bracelet one by one.
![]() I keep adding the Crystals until the bracelet is completed.
![]() ![]() Finished.
![]() Thanks for checking out my new bracelet!
