DIY Delicate Rose Gold Wire & Chain Necklaces...






Sometimes a simple and delicate necklace is all I'm looking for and while quite similar to my DIY rose gold charm bracelets, the simple curved line of this one has a little more edge to it. Worn short or long, together or alone, or even layered with a few other chains, I think these simple lines make a big impact and I love the rose gold affect the copper gives.



What You'll Need...



* Copper chain I used 3.6mm Flattened Curb Chain
* 20 gauge Copper wire
* Wire cutters
* Round nose beading pliers {these also offer a wire cutter}
* Strong nail file or sand paper



Steps...


* Decide how long you want your wire and cut appropriately.


* Using your nail file or sand paper, file any sharp edges down.


* Using your round nose pliers, carefully curve just the ends inward, creating a loop.


* They should simply look like this.


* Cut your chain to your desired length.


* Slip your chains over the ends of your loops... you don't need a closure for this but rather will put it on and remove it by simply slipping the chain from your loops.



Voila!









Have Fun!
