I made a necklace from a length of Jack Chain. Its inspired by big gold chain necklaces, or "Bling"

Take an end of the chain and then take where you think you want the end to be, mark it there.

Cut where you made the mark

Lesson on Jack Chain

th (1).jpg

Since jack chain is not welded together, it can easily be pried apart with some force. With a chain that is welded, you would need a hacksaw to get it apart.

Pry

Pry one end of the wire that makes up a link of the chain, then slide the other end onto it. Like ring on a finger.

Close the Chain

Hammer down the open link to close it, making it seamless.

Finish
