Collect Your Material
Cut the Chains
Gather all of the materials required for this project and choose a variety of bronze chains, as well as a variety of jump rings, a toggle clasp, and jewelry tools.
Using flush cutters, cut the chains to the length you want for your overall design as well as how the chains will be layered around your neck.
Measure and cut chains
Determine the lengths for each chain variety, keeping in mind that the chains in each row should have similar lengths. Use a wire cutter to trim the chains accordingly.
Arrange Chains
Arrange all chains side by side, creating distinct rows. To achieve an appealing layout, play around with the order and positioning. Make certain that the chains in each row are parallel.
Create Jump Ring Connectors
Using pliers, open the jump rings and connect the individual chains within each row. Open a jump ring, thread it through the last link of one chain, and securely close it. Repeat this process for each chain in the row.
Connect Rows
To connect the rows, open the jump rings. To make a stable structure, attach jump rings to the end links of the outside chains in each row and connect them horizontally. Make sure the jump rings are tightly closed.
Attach a toggle clasp
Open a jump ring and attach it to one end of the top row. Connect the toggle clasp to this jump ring. Repeat the process on the other end of the top row, attaching the other part of the toggle clasp.
Protect All Connections
Check that all jump rings are securely closed to prevent the chains from coming apart, and make sure the wire loops are securely attached to the chains.
Final Touches
Final Touches: Inspect your necklace for any necessary adjustments and ensure that the chains are evenly distributed and that they lay nicely.
Begin by cutting the length of the chain into 16-inch, even segments.
Lay out three rows of chains side by side to see how they look together.

Ensure that all jump rings are securely closed.
Attach jump rings to the end links of the outer chains in each row and connect them.
Open a jump ring and attach it to one end of the top rows. Connect the toggle clasp to this jump ring.

Check the entire piece for any rough edges or flaws. Smooth out any sharp edges or fix any problems with pliers.
