Start by cutting about 50 cm of stranded wire. Thread one end of the wire through a stranded wire protector. Next, slide a crimp bead onto the two wires, flatten it with flat-nose pliers, and then add a bead cap.

Add a crimp bead and start stringing the beads in this order if you want the same necklace as ours.

To close the necklace, take an open ring, open it, slide the clasp through it, then thread the ring through a cable wire protector and close the ring.

Do the same thing on the other side using the extension chain.

Next, take a flat-head pin and thread your blue fish onto it. Using jewelry pliers, form a loop at the end of the pin.
If you’re not sure how to do this, check out our technical guide, which explains the method step by step.

Next, attach your charms using open rings. Be sure to center them on your bracelet by counting the links. Their placement will depend on the number of beads you used at the start. You can use all 30 beads, but I chose to use 27.
It’s up to you to adjust it however you like!
