And for those who love DIY, these imitation freshwater pearl bracelets are easy to make. You'll need jewelry pliers and about 30 minutes. You'll need cutting pliers to cut the chain and nail shanks. Round and flat-nose pliers to form loops on the nails and open and close the rings. Let your creativity flow and make your own chic, timeless bracelets to wear on any occasion.
In this tutorial, I'll give you some indications of the dimensions you'll need to make the bracelets, but it's best to test the bracelets on your wrist as you go along.

Let's start by adding the charm to the ring with a small oval ring. Hold the ring with a pair of pliers in each hand and rotate one plier towards you and the other in the opposite direction, without moving the ends apart.
Hold the ring with one clamp in your hand. With your other hand, slide the band ring into the ring, then your charm. To close, realign the ends in the opposite direction, until they touch perfectly. You can go back and forth a little to make them fit perfectly.
Cut the beaded chain. To cut the chain, I recommend cutting the link inside the bead after the correct size. Keep any beads that fall off the chain to make your spacers later.
Cut 2 pieces of chain the size of your wrist -0.5 cm. Cut 4 pieces of 2-bead chain and 3 pieces of 3-bead chain. You've got 9 pearly beads.
Make the first two simple bracelets by adding a 6 mm ring on one side of the chain and a clasp on the other. Secure the clasp with an oval ring.
For the third bracelet, we'll form a first spacer. Thread onto a nail: a pearly pearl, a flower roundel, an imitation freshwater pearl, a flower roundel, a pearly pearl. Cut the nail about 10 mm from the last pearl. Bend it at 90° and form a loop using the round pliers: grasp the end of the nail and turn the pliers so as to wrap the nail shank around the pliers.
Subtract 3 cm from your wrist measurement and divide this sum in half. Cut two pieces of chain to match this measurement. Attach the chains on either side of the divider and add the clasp and 6 mm ring. Make four more spacers by repeating step 4.
Use the four spacers to form a new bracelet. Connect them with the three-bead chain pieces. Subtract 16 cm from your wrist measurement (re-measure the chain of spacers and add 0.5 cm if you used two-bead chain pieces, as your wrist is smaller than 15.5 cm) and divide this sum in two. Cut two pieces of chain to match this measurement. Attach the chains on either side of the spacer chain and add the clasp and 6 mm ring.
Finally, for the last bracelet, form five spacers made entirely of imitation freshwater pearls. Connect them with pieces of chain two pearls long and, as before, take 13 cm off the size of your wrist. Divide this measurement in half. Cut corresponding pieces of chain. Attach these pieces to each side of the bracelet and add the fastening system.
