Jewelry Ideas Using Chain, Page 6

Hippy Chick Necklace

I used a Bronze Metal Clay pendant by Summers Studio, lengths of brass chain, and an assortment of Czech glass beads, leaves, and flowers. I wanted to make something airy, fun, and a little playful without it being too girly-girl. It can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt or a blouse and a long, […]

Silver Spirals Necklace

This necklace set was made with some beads my grandmother gave me. I found that bead wrapping was a great way to improve a necklace. Once I added chain to it, I had two small lengths that I would not be able to use so I decided to experiment with their position on the necklace. […]

Aaliyah Matti Necklace Set

The name and inspiration for this necklace set was derived from my late grandmother and favorite singer, the late Aaliyah. The beauty of this set just reminded me of their beauty. I worked with beautifully glowing faceted Peruvian blue chalcedony briolette beads and iridescent peach puff coin freshwater pearls. I strung the beads onto gold […]

Retro Glamour Necklace

I have strung an old black floral button with a diamantee attached on to an antique silver style cable chain. Faceted black beads, Swarovski crystals, pink licorice beads and another old button are mixed together to create this necklace. I tried to create a retro feel with this necklace by using beads that reminded me […]

Black Filigree & Hematite Vines Ornate Pendant Necklace

This ornate set was made with a matte black coloured 3D filigree pendant (5.7cm x 5cm), Hematite rice shaped and round beads, facetted opaque black glass beads, some with fire polished finish and silver plated solid metal Bali-like beads. The seed beads used are foil lined dark grey and opaque black. The beads were strung […]

Koala Scribbly Pendant

Starting from a design for ‘wiggly’ chain by Linda Jones, this was inspired by the Scribble Bark gum tree which looks as if Koalas have been slip-sliding down the tree. Gold plate wire, with a green venetian-style glass bead and two little clear Swarovski crystals. The ends of the fine leather thong are bound in […]

Charm Of Many Colors

This key chain charm was one of the very first pieces that I made. I had seen friends with all sorts of purse charms: some small, others a bit bigger. I started playing to see what I could come up with. I did about 5 different designs and this is the one I liked the […]

My Little Angel Necklace

I created this necklace when a dear friend of mine lost her little boy to SIDS. I used 17″ of silver chain. I strung together pewter letter beads, with the initials of her son, using 20 gauge silver wire. I linked it onto the chain. To create the angel, I used a 3 inch head […]

Angel Story Charm Bracelet

I particularly love the angel charm in the middle as she seems to be in thought or having a quiet moment. I wanted to make something that was a little fairytale-like and sweet, so I put the basket and umbrella as part of the design, making them seem like they belong to the angel. The […]

Copper, Wood & Bali Bead Ornate Pendant

The focal drop is a hand crafted lampwork bead that is clear with a copper swirl lining. The necklace includes dark wood round beads, Czech faceted smokey brown beads and some silver coloured metal Bali-like beads, bead caps and hanger to finish. The seed beads are clear dark brown and the bugle beads are metallic […]

Emerald Pearl And Torched Copper Necklace

This necklace is really easy to make. On beading wire I strung alternating emerald potato pearls with black seed beads. On each end I used a split ring and on one side is chain for adjustable length and on the other side is a hand made clasp using 20g silver wire. For the pendant I […]

Green Lariat Necklace

Black stones with green marbling are highlighted by lime green crystal & gold spacers. Gold chain hangs through the jade donut.

Green Glass Pearl Dangle Earrings

These were made with silver plated ear studs, green “pearl” glass beads, Czech fire polished multi-colored teal/green glass beads, silver plated chains and silver plated headpins.

Lilac And Purple Bracelet

This very light weight bracelet has over 100 individually wrapped beads attached to a metal chain. There are 4 beads in every chain link. I’ve used a mixture of acrylic lilac beads, purple Swarovski beads and very small purple acrylic beads. The S hook allows for easy adjustment. Just hook into any chain link to […]

Byzantine Rose Choker With Fresh Water Pearls

This is a Byzantine rose weave with fresh water pearl dangles. I coiled and cut the rings myself except for the dangle chain. I purchased the rings to make them. The rings used are 5mm ID and 3.5mm ID 18 gauge on the main choker and the dangle chains are 2.5mm 22 gauge. Fresh water […]

Green With Envy Necklace

This necklace is one of the most creative pieces that I have made so far. I bought the resin focal bead at my local bead store because I knew the color would be amazing with the Vintaj Brass. I used small brass chain and paired it with a chain made of seed beads in lime, […]

Electric Blue Bracelet

When I was a child in New Jersey my mother went through a phase where everything in our home was electric blue and chartreuse. This bracelet really brings me back to those times! The handmade glass beads are complimented nicely by the bright sterling silver chain, bells and clasps.

Olivia Necklace

The blue, green and dark grey 6 mm bead combination and the intricate central motif add up to a vibrant necklace that makes me think about spring and blossoms. This necklace measures about 46cm and it is finished with a silver plated lobster clasp and a chain that makes it adjustable.

Multi-coloured Tile Bracelet

I bought these tile beads but had no idea what I would do with them. I’ve been making what I call “eyepin bracelets” and thought that these tiles might look great linked in between two gold chains. I found some leftover Swarovski crystals that matched many of the colours in the tile beads. I’ve had […]

Northern Lights Bracelet Set

This colorful and playful bracelet/earring set was made using glass beads of various colors and, using eye pins, round jump rings and square jump rings, attaching them to a silver chain. Fun, bright and cheery!
