DIY Go To Chain Necklace
I've been slightly obsessed with these layered chain necklaces. There are so many varieties, they go with everything, and its easy to change the look of them with a few accessories.
Here are a few I've been eyeballing.
Fun, huh?
I've shopped around haven't found just the *right* one for me. So what's a crafty girl to do?
Make my own!
I'm lovin' it! I used various silver beads (I'm a silver over gold kind of girl) and two different sizes of silver chain to make the necklace. Here are some closeups.
You can find a great tutorial how to prep beads to make a necklace at Sew Sweet Stitches.
I used jump rings to unite the two layers into one.
An extra embellishment just for something a little dangly.
Next weekend I'll show you a fun way to add an extra embellishment to dress this layered chain necklace even more!

Very cute! I like silver better than gold too - this is perfect! Can't wait to see how you embellish it. š
Thank you so much for linking up! I'm a sucker for beautiful jewelry.

How pretty! I love this! I haven't had good luck trying to make jewelry because I can't use the jewelry tools very well. Any tips? I'd love to make one of these!
I love silver too. I have to try this! I'm visiting from tcj.
Love, love, love this! I am a silver girl, too. š

that looks awesome! i will have to add it to my craft to do list.
Looks great. I just was looking at similar ones in a store the other day and they were pricey.
These are so pretty! You do beautiful work.
Good idea...I will have to try this - I have loads of salvage jewelry I could work with...
You are so clever and your necklaces are so pretty. I used to do the same thing, make necklaces to match my outfits. They can really make a blah outfit a bit more stylish and making my own saved money! Tx for visiting my glass vases post and your kind words. Love your bright blue daisy avatar!
