The advantages of this DIY tutorial :
	Versatility: adapt your jewellery to every occasion, whether it's a casual outing or a formal event. Creativity: express yourself! Assemble, combine and create an original and totally unique piece around your neck. Savings: Instead of buying multiple collars, opt for the modular variety and save money in the long run. Double Impact: Looking for extra volume? Assemble the necklaces together for an adjustable double necklace effect and impress your friends!

Assembly:

This piece of jewellery is very simple to make, so start by choosing your different pendants. You can choose simple pendants or connectors.

When it comes to choice, don't hesitate to vary shapes, patterns, textures, sizes... This will give you a wide range of possibilities.

Fitting pendants and connectors :

To begin, cut 2 pieces of fancy nugget chain. We've chosen this chain because it goes with all the other chains and pendants. Its size is neither too thin nor too thick.

Keep 5 nugget links on each piece of chain.

Now for a pendant, attach a 4mm ring to the top of the pendant. Then connect the 2 nugget chains to the 4mm ring with 3mm rings.

For a connector, connect the 2 chains to the rings on the sides using 3mm rings.

Now attach the clasps to the ends of the nugget chains using 3mm rings.

Use this method to mount all your pendants... And if you want to mount a pearl, use a brass wire or a nail!

Assemble the various chains...

Here we like choker necklaces and slightly longer necklaces just above the chest.

Make your chains different lengths to match your different outfits.

Vary chain lengths between 35cm (for chokers) and 50/60cm (for low necklines). Or more if you like long necklaces!

Bear in mind that the pendant assembly will add length to the final assembly.

Then place a 4mm ring at the ends of your different chains. These will be used to attach the buoy clasps to your pendants.

Tip for making double necklaces:

With this type of assembly you can also join your chains together to make double necklaces. To do this, attach a chain to one side of the pendant and another chain to the other side. Attach another pendant to the ends of the chains.

So when you place these necklaces around your neck, you'll get 2 rows of chains that you can modulate to place one necklace around your neck and another just below.

Warning: For this type of assembly to work, you must assemble 2 chains of the same length!

And voilà! A great achievement!
