This quick and easy jewelry mounting system is accessible to jewelry-making beginners. You'll need to know just one technique: how to open and close a ring. It's one of the basics of costume jewelry design.
This quick and easy jewelry assembly is ideal for beginners who want to get started with costume jewelry. To make this bracelet, all you need is a pair of flat-nose pliers and a pair of round-nose pliers. In just a few minutes, you'll be able to assemble the elements with precision and create a beautiful piece of handmade star jewelry you'll be proud of.
The design features nine sunburst spacers, mounted on rings and finished with a Lobster Clasp. This makes a bracelet approximately 16 cm long, perfect for a 15 cm wrist. Need a little more length? Simply add an extra sun to gain 1.5 cm. This simple system allows you to adjust the bracelet to your size or that of the person you wish to give it to.
All bracelet components are made of gold-plated stainless steel: a material particularly appreciated for its resistance to oxidation and its durability. Unlike gold-plated brass, stainless steel retains its lustre for longer, and is highly resistant to contact with water or perspiration. A real plus for a jewel you can wear every day, without worrying about damaging it!
To open a junction ring, grasp each side of the ring with a different pair of pliers at the opening. Rotate one end towards you and the other away from you. So, don't pull the ends apart, as this will deform the ring.
To close the ring, rotate the ends in the opposite direction to bring them face to face. At the end, turn back and forth to close the ring.
The suns are made up of 11 holes. This means they can't be connected in a totally centered way. Place a ring on the first sun and attach the clasp. Count four holes at the bottom and place a new ring in the fifth hole, connected to the second sun. Count four holes at the top and add a new ring in the fifth hole, connected to the third sun.
Continue in this way until you have attached nine to eleven suns, depending on the size of your wrist. Finish with two rings in a row.
