17. Delicate Tiered Layered Coin Charm Necklace
What This Idea Means
Layered necklaces solve the styling puzzle. This all-in-one piece connects three varying lengths of delicate gold chain onto a single clasp, featuring tiny disc coin charms along the shortest tier and a prominent stamped crest coin on the lowest tier.
How to Make It
- Cut Chain Tiers: Cut three gold cable chain lengths: 14 inches (short), 16 inches (medium), and 18 inches (long).
- Attach Top Tier Charms: Attach tiny 4mm smooth gold disc charms every inch along the 14-inch chain using micro jump rings.
- Attach Middle Tier: Leave the 16-inch chain plain or add a tiny single sparkling crystal drop in the center.
- Attach Main Medallion: Suspend a 15mm stamped coin crest medallion in the center of the long 18-inch chain.
- Unify on Single Clasp: Connect the left ends of all 3 chains onto a single 3-hole spacer bar, attaching a lobster clasp. Repeat for right side ends.
Tips & Variations
- Tip: Using a multi-hole spacer bar prevents the three individual chain tiers from twisting around each other when worn.
- Variation: Use antique silver chains and coin charms for a cool-toned bohemian coin necklace.
