Peterpan Gold Necklace

picture from Harpers Bazaar Australia

I was browsing through Pinterest, and I found this DIY chain bow necklace. I immediately grab my diy box and start making it. It's pretty easy, and the instruction from Harpers Bazzar (Australia) was so clear. I copied it here for easy resource.


Here's what you need:

- Around 1 metre of delicate gold chain.
- One lobster clasp
- 5 gold jump rings
- Beading plyers
- Scissors

1. Cut your chain into three pieces - one around 50cm, and the other two around 25 cm.
2. Create the base of the necklace out of the longer piece of chain by attaching a jump ring to one end and the lobster clasp to the other end.
3. In the very middle of the chain attach a jump ring and the two other pieces of chain to this jump ring.
4. Put the necklace on and in a mirror hold up the ends of the two pieces chain to see where you think the collar parts of chain should sit. There isn't any right or wrong here - just test until you like the roundness of the collar.
5. Attach these remaining ends of chain with jump rings further up on the necklace to create the collar shape and feel free to cut shorter if required.

And voila! This is my version of the necklace!
