Looking for a little poetic mystery around your neck? The Charms "Clés" necklace kit is for you! Inspired by the world of secrets and doors to be opened, it brings together pretty little charms: little golden keys, padlocks, freshwater beads to create your own jewel full of symbols.
Everything you need is in the kit: the chain, the rings, the charms... All you'll need are some jewelry pliers to assemble it all (you'll find them in the "Tools" section at the bottom of the page).
This kit is part of a brand-new collection of DIY charm necklaces! Six different universes to discover: Astres, Autumn, Western, Keys, Girly and Hearts. Each has its own character, its own mood.
Dreamy, adventurous or romantic? There's bound to be a necklace to suit you ✨ It's the perfect gift idea (for you or to give!), with that little creative touch that makes all the difference.
Detach the clasp from the necklace and lay the chain flat, checking that the links have not twisted. Fold the chain in 2 to locate the center of the necklace.
Using two pliers, open a ring and slide it, without closing it, into the lock pendant (white, blue, green). Place the ring in the central link and close the ring.
Position the other charms in the same way on either side of the lock pendant, keeping a regular interval of 2 wide links between each charm (the next charm is positioned on the 3rd wide link).
Here's the suggested sequence, but feel free to position the charms as you wish.
To make the two charms with the freshwater pearl, take a bolt head nail and slide it into the pearl. Using flat-nose pliers, bend the nail at right angles to the top of the bead. Using wire cutters, cut the nail to leave 1 cm of wire. Then form a loop using round-tipped pliers.
