Creating your Chamilia™ jewellery
Chamilia™
Your life. Your style.
Building your very own Chamilia™ jewellery is a great way to express yourself, or show a loved one exactly how much you care about them. Simply follow these three steps and you will be on your way to creating your very own jewellery.
Step 1: Select a bracelet or necklace style
Chamilia™ offers necklaces styles in various sizes to include: 16" choker, 16.6", 17.5", 17.8", 19.7", 22", 28", 36" and 38".
Chamilia™ offers bracelet sizes in 6.0 (w/lobster claw only), 6.7, 7.1, 7.5, 7.9, 8.3, 8.7, 9.1, and 9.5.
To ensure you measure the right size bracelet you can measure your wrist. A good method is to use an existing bracelet that allows you to put two fingers between your wrist and the bracelet, leaving enough room to fill your bracelet with charms. Alternatively, you can wrap a piece of string around your wrist, allowing enough room to place two fingers between the string and your wrist, and measure the length of the string.
Step 2: Select your beads
Design your bracelet by a style, theme, colour or a combination. You can combine as many styles as you want for a strong visual appeal.
Step 3: Assemble your jewellery
Thread beads on to your bracelet by twisting each one onto the chain and finishing with a lock. Most often, locks are placed on each end of the bracelet to prevent movement of the beads; however, they can be used in other unique ways to create the final look you desire.
There are many ways to assemble your jewellery to create different looks.
- Repeat Pattern: choose a series of 3-4 beads to repeat for a well structured, balanced look.
- Focal Point: select one bead to act as a central focal point.
- Random: choose your beads and place in any order for a whimsical touch.
- Spacers: Spacers are an inexpensive way to add to your bead collection and bring interest into your pattern.
How to Wear a Drop Chain Necklace
Chamilia™ drop chain necklaces make a beautiful complement to your bracelets. All of the beads are interchangeable and there are multiple ways to string the beads and wear your necklace, giving you many ways to reflect your personal style.
1: Traditional Drop Chain Necklace
Simply slide your beads over both ends of the chain and drop to the hanging pendant to create your desired look.
2: Hanging Choker Necklace
Slide your beads onto a 36" drop chain necklace as if you were creating a traditional necklace. Place each end of the necklace around the back of your neck, and simply pull the beaded end of the necklace through the loop of the opposite end to create a shorter style of necklace. You can adjust the dangle length as appropriate. This is a great option to display your beads with a variety of necklines.
3: Short Necklace
Slide your beads onto a 36" drop chain necklace as if you were creating a traditional necklace. Place each end of the necklace around the back of your neck, sliding half of the beads to each side. Pull only the pendant through the loop on the other end to secure it on your neck.
