I travel a lot. In fact, during the the week I study in town and in the week-end I got back to my parent’s house. After a fight with my ultra heavy suitcase in the subway stairs, I decided  to find a way to reduce my stuff. I did get a lot of tricks and one of them is the traveler chain. It is one chain that can do a lot of style. In the next steps you will learn how to simply do yours.

Open the Ring

Open the rings carefully to not deform the circular shape. Open it perpendicularly of the circle as showed in the picture. Do it for both rings.

To make the yellow pendant I use 3 silver cabochon and I glued the flat beads with epoxy glue (you can also use superglue or crazy glue) after that I joined every cabochon with a small silver chain again with rings.
