Do you like links but would like to make a smaller, more refined necklace out of them than just stringing them together? Today we offer you a tutorial to make a necklace with a gold stainless steel chain and a resin coffee bean pendant. To make it more sophisticated, we added small pearly white cabochons on the pendant and small mother of pearl spacers.
To make the jewelry in this tutorial, you need to know the basics of jewelry mounting. Jewelry mounting is the process of assembling jewelry pieces to create a finished piece. All you need is a good pair of wire cutters to cut the stainless steel chain, and two flat pliers to open and close the rings to assemble the jewelry.
If you want to choose a different link to play the role of pendant on your necklace, feel free to take a look at our entire range of plastic links. The coffee bean link comes in several different colors, so you can have fun! The links are great because they are also very economical, the pendant in this tuto costs only 0.90€!

Cut 2 pieces of chain about 5.5cm each and 2 pieces of 14cm using your cutter.
Using your 2 flat pliers, open the small rings, slip a piece of chain of 5.5cm and pass the mother of pearl spacer and ditto on the other side of the spacer with a piece of chain of 14cm. Repeat the operation a second time with the pieces of chain and the remaining spacer.
For the pendant, take your UHU epoxy glue and mix an equal amount from both tubes of glue. We don't need much. Once the glue is mixed, randomly glue the little pearl cabochons to one side of your link. Let dry for 24 hours.
Now open the large twisted rings and slip the link and one of the two chain ends through. Repeat the operation on the other side.
All you have to do is add your clasp and the extension chain and your necklace is finished :)
