Sick of single color jewelry? Make this two-tone chain choker necklace.
This necklace uses two different colored metal chains for a cool two-tone effect.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make your own two-tone choker necklace:
1: Pliers. You’ll need your round nose and flat nose pliers for this DIY.
2: Two pieces of choker-length chain, one slightly longer than the other. You can check the length by wrapping your chain closely (but loosely) around your neck. I used an antique gold chain and a copper colored chain.
3: Two jump rings.
4: A lobster clasp.
Now follow these steps to make your two-tone choker necklace:
1: Open one of the jump rings.
2: Add one of the chain to the open jump ring.
3: Add the second chain to the jump ring.
4: Close the jump ring.
5: Add the chains in the same order to the other jump ring, make sure that your chains don’t get twisted.
6: Add the lobster clasp to the second open jump ring.
7: Close the jump ring to secure the clasp in place.
Now your two-tone choker necklace is finished and ready to wear!
