Orly Shani is taking one chain necklace and showing how to easily style it three different ways.
- Wide link or chunky chain (long enough to encircle all or part of your waist - drop waist)
- Ribbons (various widths, lengths, colors, and textures such as velvet, satin, grosgrain, leather)
- Jump rings (to fit chain ends)
- Pliers
- Open chain to its full length
- Attach jump rings at the positions you want to create a shorter necklace
- Thread ribbon through jump rings and tie (or tighten) ribbon together
- Wear as-is or attach jump rings and ribbons to create a longer, multi-textured look - i.e. Chain + ribbon
- Open chain to full length
- Attach jump rings to each end
- Tie ribbon to each jump ring (decide if you want the chain to completely encircle the waist, or partially, and have ribbon prominently complete the circle)
- Tie the ribbon in a bow (either at back, side, or front)
