Blooming Heart Chain Bracelet
Beautiful rose quartz hearts and Swarovski rose top drilled pendants
are just lovely when dangling from our silver plated chain. If you
want to wear it to show your support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
consider adding a pink
awareness ribbon charm to the dangle. The finished length of
the bracelet, from end to end, is 9 ½”; however, that is because
of the dangle that will hang off your wrist. The circumference of
bracelet, which will go around your wrist, measures about 8”.

Directions:
Step 1. Onto each of 7 Head Pins, place a Puff Heart, a Silver
Round, and a 4mm Rose Bicone. These will be called Head Pin A.
Step 2. Using Flat Nose Pliers bend each Head Pin 90°. Cut
off the excess Head Pins leaving approximately 1/4". Using the Round
Nosed Pliers carefully bend the 1/4" pieces of wire into loops, and wrap
the wire around the bottom of the loop twice (or until all the excess wire
is wrapped) to close the loops. Set aside.
Step 3. Onto each of 14 Head Pins, place a 4mm Light Rose Bicone
and a 3mm Light Rose Bicone. These will be called Head Pin B.
Step 4. Using Flat Nose Pliers bend each Head Pin 90°.
Cut off the excess Head Pins leaving approximately 3/16". Using the
Round Nosed Pliers carefully bend the 3/16" pieces of wire into loops and
close tightly.
Step 5. Place a 6mm Jump Ring onto a Pinch Bail and squeeze the
Pinch Bail into the hole of a Rose Swarovski Top Drilled Pendant.
Set aside.
Step 6. Repeat Step 5 eight times.
Step 7. Cut approximately 8 ¼” of Chain.
Step 8. Count down 4 links from the end of the Chain. Twist
open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert that fourth link and the bar end of the
Toggle Clasp. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 9. Now go to the opposite end of the Chain. Twist
open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert the last link on the opposite end of the
Chain and the loop of the other end of the Toggle Clasp.
Step 10. Take one of your Pinch Bails that has a Pendant and
a Jump Ring attached to it and twist open the Jump Ring. Insert the
end of the Chain (first link) and twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 11. Repeat Step 10 for the opposite end (last link) of the
Chain.
Step 12. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert a Head Pin B and
the second link of the Chain. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 13. Twist open a 6mm Jump Ring and insert a Head Pin A and
the third link of the Chain. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 14. Twist open a 4mm Jump Ring and insert a Head Pin B and
the fourth link of the Chain. Twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 15. Take one of the Pinch Bails that has a Pendant and a
Jump Ring attached to it and twist open the Jump Ring. Insert the
fifth link of the Chain and twist the Jump Ring closed.
Step 16. Repeat Steps 11-15, in that order (so as to keep the
same pattern) until all the finished Head Pins A, Head Pins B, and Pinch
Bails with Pendants are attached to your Chain. Enjoy!
